Abstract: A laser measuring system for continuous measurement of a plurality of connected tubulars being inserted into or removed from a wellbore. The laser measuring system can have a laser housing with one or more laser surface velocimeters. The laser housing with a laser arm can be connected to a support member and can communicate via a network to a computer processor and data storage for measuring pipe joint length in real time. A pressurized gas port can pressurize the laser housing above ambient pressure to keep a laser beam clear of particulate and well fluids or ambient pressure can be used with a continuous airflow device. The laser beam is used to detect and calculate length and quantity of tubulars moving past the laser beam transmitting the information to the computer processor in real time.

Abstract: A laser measuring system for continuous measurement of at least one join of pipe being inserted into or removed from a wellbore. The laser measuring system can have a laser housing with a laser surface velocimeter. The laser housing with a laser arm can be connected to a support member with an upper mounting member and an upper rubber pipe wiper and a lower plate with a lower rubber pipe wiper. The laser surface velocimeter can communicate via a network to a computer processor and data storage for measuring pipe joint length in real time. A pressurized gas port can pressurize the laser housing above ambient pressure to keep a laser beam clear of particulate and well fluids. The laser beam used to detect and calculate length and quantity of joints of pipe moving past the laser beam transmitting the information to the computer processor real time.
