PIPELINE DATA LOGGER
Pipeline Data Logger is designed to collect and store
operational data during a pipeline run, providing operators with detailed
time-dependent information about temperature and pressure conditions within the
pipeline.
By combination of a
differential pressure sensor with a high-resolution three axis
accelerometer sensor system, the PDL can be used to detect and locate pipeline
restrictions. Furthermore, the versatile data logger can be
used to assess the cleaning progress and effectiveness of the cleaning
tool it is attached to.
PDL Analysis supports for
example:
•
Differential
pressure for passage of installations
•
Temperature
profiles for wax and scale deposition models
•
Supporting
gauge plate results and feature localization
•
Evaluation of
run behavior by acceleration and pressure
•
Absolute
pressure profile for detailed hydraulic evaluation
•
Determination
of differential pressure peak for bypass calculation
•
Indication of
bends including bend angle
KEY ADVANTAGES • Robust stainless steel housing • Functions in any liquid or gaseous mediums • Up to 20 MPa operating pressure; higher pressure
capacities optionally available • PDLs recognize data collected during the inspection run
such as temperature of the medium, acceleration and pressure differences. • Standard operating temperatures from -20 to 75 °C • PDL can be mounted on tools used for 4" to 56"
inspections |
The PDL can be attached to any standard cleaning tool and employs
fast response, low current sensors which can record for more than 30 days and
up to 500 km (310 miles) of inspection. Data are presented in an easy to
understand graphical format using supplied software.
