Publication number: 20240003848Abstract: A method of testing of a component of a system that includes a pipe of a first length is provided. The method includes the steps of: providing a second length of stock pipe, the second length being greater than the first length; cutting the stock pipe to the first length to produce a cut pipe; inspecting the cut pipe using a non-destructive inspection technique. The non-destructive inspection technique includes the steps of: performing a first non-destructive test on an inner surface of the cut pipe; performing a second non-destructive test on an outer surface of the cut pipe. The method further includes the step of rejecting the cut pipe if the step of inspecting the pipe identifies a flaw.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: Tenaris Connections B.V.Inventors: Alberto Nicolini, Nicolas Hernan Bonadeo, Benito Perez Solorzano, Javier Ignacio Etcheverry

Patent number: 10197387Abstract: Thread parameters for a threaded object are determined. Spatial reference systems (X, Y, Z) and (X?, Y?, Z?) are respectively identified for a position sensor and the threaded object. A transformation matrix describing a quadratic form representing the threaded object in (X, Y, Z) may be determined to relate the reference systems. For example, a sensor trajectory on the threaded object may be determined, along with measurement points on the threaded object. The measurement points may be selected so the matrix, evaluated on these values, has maximum rank. Position data at measurement points in the second reference system may be transformed into the first reference system, yielding first results. After coating the threaded object, position data at the measurement points may be acquired again and transformed into the first reference system, yielding second results. Comparisons between the first and second results may provide thickness of the coating and quality verification.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2014Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: TENARIS CONNECTIONS B.V.Inventors: Nicolas Hernan Bonadeo, Sebastian Berra, Javier Ignacio Etcheverry
