    摘要: A pipeline pressure test that accounts for measurement uncertainties includes a method for performing a pressure test of a pipe section of a pipeline including receiving a desired pressure to be applied to the pipe section and a duration of time the desired pressure is to be applied to the pipe section, receiving a pressure measurement of a fluid, a temperature measurement of the fluid, a volume measurement of the fluid, and a pipe section strain measurement, determining a change in fluid pressure and a volume change, determining a pressure change uncertainty and a volume change uncertainty, checking that the pressure change uncertainty is within a pressure uncertainty threshold and that the volume change uncertainty is within a volume uncertainty threshold, determining whether the desired pressure has been applied to the inner surface of the pipe section for the duration of time; and outputting a result of the testing.

    摘要: A pipeline scraper assembly including a guide disc, and a sealing disc coupled to the guide disc, where the sealing disc defines a sealing disc outer circumference, and an initial wear indicator defining an initial radially-facing wear face that is positioned radially inward from the sealing disc outer circumference by an initial wear distance, and a secondary wear indicator defining a secondary radially-facing wear face that is positioned radially inward from the sealing disc outer circumference by a secondary wear distance, where the secondary wear distance is greater than the initial wear distance.
