Optical Inner Profile Measurement for Pipes and Tubes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper summarizes a principle for measurement of inner diameter or profile of pipes and tubes using optical method. Based on this principle, compact probes have been developed for industrial applications such as car industry, heavy industry and civil engineering. In addition to large probes for pipes, tubes and tank-like objects with diameter larger than 1meter, such small size probes as 5mm ∼25 mm in diameter has been produced including prototypes and commercialized products. We report availability and utility of our principle and probes we developed with some experimental results.

An Experimental Correlation for Friction Factor in Horizontal Pipe with Trapezoidal Section Inner Longitudinal Slots for Conveying of Solids
In order to increase the efficiency of the conveyance of the granular solids, a new experimental set-up is designed. The test rig has longitudinal trapezoidal slots in its conveying pipes. Through experimentation, a correlation for friction factor in terms of solid mass flow rate, fluid flow rate and Froude number is presented. It is shown that the mixture friction factor for pipes with inn...
متن کاملMathematical modeling of hydraulic resistance in pipes with rough walls
Study patterns of flow in pipes with rough walls can be considered relevant, as the use of rough surfaces is a method of heat transfer. In the theoretical study of heat transfer processes in heat exchangers and devices used in various fields of technology, it is very important to know the basic laws of flow in rough pipes in turbulent regime. Flow patterns for rough pipes differs from the behav...
متن کاملA Study of an Earthworm type Inspection Robot Movable in Long Pipes
This paper describes development of a three somites earthworm type mobile inspection robot which is able to move in long pipes. We have many small diameter pipes which are gas or water pipes for individual or corporate houses and boilers or hot water pipes for industries. They are settled in the ground horizontally or in the narrow spaces vertically and some of them are covered by casings or ha...
متن کاملElectromagnetic evaluation of the microstructure of Grade 91 tubes/pipes
This paper assesses the feasibility of transferring a laboratory-based electromagnetic (EM) sensor technique, which has already proved sensitive to significant (e.g. phase balance) or subtle (e.g. number density of fine precipitates) microstructural changes in steel, to non-destructive evaluation of the microstructure of power generation components such as tubes/pipes. It has been found that Gr...
متن کاملSelective optical property modification of double-walled carbon nanotubes by fluorination.
We found that by fluorination of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs), it is possible to suppress only the Raman radial breathing mode and absorption peaks from the outer (large diameter) tubes of DWNTs. In contrast, Raman signals from the inner shells showed no difference from the pristine DWNTs. The stability of the inner shells of fluorinated DWNTs was also confirmed from the photoluminesc...
