摘要: The present invention discloses a pipeline patrol inspection robot having variable tracks and a control method therefor. The pipeline patrol inspection robot of the present invention includes a robot body, track assemblies symmetrically disposed on a left side and a right side of the robot body, and a movement driving mechanism. The robot body is connected to the track assemblies on the left side and the right side by track fixtures, and track angle adjusting mechanisms are respectively connected between the robot body and the track assemblies on the left side and the right side. By means of the present invention, a track camber angle can be adjusted. In addition, each track angle adjusting mechanism is independent, and has desirable flexibility to adapt to different pipeline environments.

摘要: In the case of a pipe cleaning and/or inspection nozzle, an available camera module can be coupled to a plurality of pipe cleaning and/or inspection nozzles in a simple and cost-efficient manner, and that a secure reliable coupling of the electrical lines is attained. An extension sleeve is inserted, which comprises a high-pressure line section comprising a sleeve loop contact. The sleeve loop contact is fastened in the extension sleeve with a sleeve insulator insert and runs so as to transition into an inner power/signal line within the extension sleeve all the way into an outlet section in the direction of the longitudinal axis. At least one outlet opening is recessed out of the outlet section, and the outlet section opens out into a coupling section, at which means are provided so that the coupling section can be fastened to a camera adapter.

摘要: A pipe pig is provided with linked wheels, and at least a central wheel of the linked wheels is pivotally linked to adjacent wheels through a spring loaded connection that biases the central wheel out of straight line alignment with the adjacent wheels. The pipe pig may be used to negotiate tight bends in a pipe and carry sensing electronics.

摘要: An untethered in-line inspection tool for the non-destructive testing of a tubular test component is described which comprises one or more partial saturation eddy current testing (PSET) modules configured to locate with an internal surface of the test component. The one or more PSET modules comprise a variable strength permanent magnet for generating a variable DC magnetic field within the test component and at least one eddy current sensor. Having an in-line inspection tool that employs PSET techniques allows the in-line inspection tool to operate with an increased range of pipeline types. For the detection of cracks the in-line inspection tool may also comprise one or more crack detection modules. The in-line inspection tool further comprises one or more battery modules. Employing a dedicated battery module removes any need to employ an umbilical or wireline in order to provide power to one or more electromagnets.

摘要: System and method for decommissioning a pipeline. The system comprises a mechanical assembly and a chemical assembly. The mechanical assembly includes a main body and a contact assembly. When the mechanical assembly is provided in the pipeline, the contact assembly is configurable to contact with the interior wall of the pipeline. The chemical assembly is arranged serially in line with the mechanical assembly. The chemical assembly includes a front section having a cross-sectional portion configurable to resemble the cross-section of the pipeline and a rear section having a cross-sectional portion. The front and the rear section are arranged in such a way that, when the chemical assembly is provided in the pipeline, the cross-sectional portions of the front and the rear section cooperate with the interior wall of the pipeline to form a chamber operable to receive and house a removal medium. The system and the method can effectively and efficiently remove most or all of such residual mercury and/or other toxic substance from the interior wall of the pipeline before abandonment.

摘要: A system and method for pipeline maintenance may include a payload and a transport module having the payload attached thereto. The transport module may include a plurality of movable arms each having at least one respective wheel. At least some of the wheels may be drive wheels which are operable in a first orientation to drive the transport module linearly along a length of a pipeline, and are further operable in a second orientation to drive the transport module circumferentially around an inner surface of the pipeline. At least some of the arms are operable to move the payload in a generally radial direction toward and away from an interior surface of the pipeline.
