    摘要: A device called “pill” is provided for in-line measurement of properties, such as pressure and temperature, in a fluid flow within a pipeline system. The device is small enough to travel in the medium of the pipeline system in an unrestricted manner. It has at least one sensor to scan properties such as pressure and temperature at a desired rate. Also, the device includes a microprocessor for logging data scanned by the sensor so that it can later be downloaded and analysed by a PC. Moreover, the device has a buoyancy compensator for adjusting the specific gravity of the device to make it compatible with the medium in which it travels. The novel device is particularly suitable for use in solids transport systems, such as mining backfill systems.

    摘要: A system and method for measuring a voltage differential in a current-carrying pipe using a propulsion vehicle. The system may be adapted for use with a pipeline pig or other propulsion device, which is configured to determine the electric current in a pipeline with nominal noise while the apparatus is moving. One aspect of the present invention is a pig which is outfitted with electrical contacts. These electrical contacts may optionally consist of rotating steel brushes and/or rotating steel knives. The pig includes data logging capabilities which may record location and voltage data. A pig according to the present invention optionally may include electromechanical devices which reduce electrical noise.

    摘要: A pipe tractor is adapted to run internally in channels and pipes in that the pipe tractor's end pieces are counterrotating and provided with resilient arms to which are attached inclined wheels resting against the inner surface of the pipe, wherein lateral force acting on the wheels gives propulsion to the pipe tractor when the end pieces rotate.

    摘要: An assembly is provided that includes first and second end plates adapted to be coaxially aligned when in use. One or more members extend from the end plates or an annular ring, the annular ring provided between the end plates, the other of the end plates or annular ring comprising one or more first slots at one end thereof to be aligned with and for receiving the one or more members of the first end plate, and one or more second slots at the other end thereof to be aligned with and for receiving the one or more members. Resilient sealing members are provided around the one or more members between the end plates and annular ring, and an urging mechanism urges the first and second end plates towards the annular ring to deform the first and second resilient sealing members to engage the inner wall of the pipe.

    摘要: Embodiments of a multi-diameter foam pig include a first set of radially spaced-apart, longitudinally extending, slots located toward a nose end of the pig and a second set of radially spaced-apart, longitudinally extending, slots located toward a tail end. Each set of slots ends at a band section of the pig so that, together, the two sets of slots do not traverse the entire length of the pig. A standard-length unit version of the foam pig includes only the first set of slots. A set of shorter, intermediate slots, offset in a circumferential direction from the first and second set of slots and partially overlapping those slots, may be included on the band section. Because of the slots, and because of open cell foam, the foam pig decreases or increases in diameter as it enters a different diameter run than the run just traveled.
