    摘要: Systems, methods, and computer readable medium are provided for determining a wall loss measurement associated with corrosion and/or erosion present within an insulated pipe. A inspection image is acquired for a pipe wall of an insulated pipe at a first location and used to determine an inspection thickness of the pipe wall at the first location. An amount of wall loss measurement can be determined based on a difference of a nominal thickness for the pipe wall at the first location and the determined inspection thickness. The wall loss measurement can characterize an amount of wall material lost due to corrosion and/or erosion present in the pipe wall at the first location. The wall loss measurement can be output for further processing and/or display.

    摘要: A ball drain wye strainer valve assembly includes a wye strainer located adjacent to a T-ball valve within a unitary body. The ball drain wye strainer valve assembly includes an additional valve member. The combination of the valve members permits the flushing of the wye strainer screen from either upstream or downstream. A drain is also incorporated to allow for the system draining, flushing, or air-purging during the initial installation and subsequent maintenance of the screen and wye strainer.

    摘要: Method for manufacturing a composite tube having at least one double-layered portion with an annular outer layer of a first alloy and an annular inner layer of a second alloy provides a base component of the second alloy, having a central through-hole and an externally threaded section, provides an outer component of the first alloy, having an internally threaded section configured to engage with the externally threaded section, forms a tubular work piece by mounting the outer component around the base component such that the internally threaded section is in engagement with the externally threaded section, and hot works the work piece so that a metallic bond is formed between the threaded sections while the mechanical interlock is maintained, and so that the work piece is elongated and its outer diameter is reduced, thus forming a composite tube.

    摘要: A method for inhibiting corrosion in pipelines for transporting oil and gas is described. A nano-machine is fed along with an inert gas to the pipeline to deliver a corrosion inhibitor which is chemically bonded to the nano-machine. The nano-machine is made by attaching a corrosion inhibitor to a nanoparticle by way of a covalent bond. When the nano-machine encounters a source of corrosion in the pipeline, the corrosion inhibitor is released to treat the corrosion.
