Dynamic Referencing in 3D Optical Metrology
This paper describes the principles of dynamic referencing for optical CMMs and demonstrates the advantages of this new functionality in terms of measurement accuracy in shop floor conditions.
Differentiation of 3D Scanners and their Positioning Method when Applied to Pipeline Integrity
In the world of 3D scanning, the right scanner depends on the application, but also on the main goal of the people who will use it. Each method has its benefits but also its trade-offs. This paper aims at helping service providers and asset owners select the most suitable 3D scanner solution for their inspection needs.
Benefits of Reverse Engineering for Ensuring Pipeline Integrity
Today, now more than ever before, mounting public concern over pipeline safety has incited many companies to turn to emerging methodologies and technologies to better monitor and assess pipeline degradation. The ultimate goal is to predict the evolution of pipeline degradation so as to deploy preventative measures in a timely fashion—before interventions become too costly and the safety of citizens is compromised.
ACHIEVING RELIABLE INLINE MEASUREMENTS IN PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENTS
One of the most important changes in metrology in the past few decades has been the development of portable measuring devices. This has brought inspection right to the production line, as close to the part as possible.
Intelligent Measurement Processes in 3D Optical Metrology: Producing More Accurate Point Clouds
This paper introduces the new paradigm of intelligent measurement process in the context of 3D optical metrology.
Impact of 3D Laser Data Resolution and Accuracy on Pipeline Dents Strain Analysis
Mechanical damage represents a major problem and a threat to pipeline integrity. Even if there is more corrosion typically found on pipeline networks, the number of leaks associated to dents is greater.
Application of 3D laser method for corrosion assessment on a spherical pressure vessel
Oil & Gas pressure components found on power plants and refineries must be inspected on a regular basis to ensure fitness-for-service.
