Patent number: 10695876Abstract: A weld system for welding two pipes includes a frame, a plurality of rollers, a drive motor, a brake system, an inspection detector, a weld torch, one or more battery cells and one or more processors. The frame is configured to be placed within the pipes. The plurality of rollers is configured to rotatably support the frame. The drive motor drives the rollers to move the frame within the pipes. The brake system secures the frame from movement at a desired location within the pipes. The weld torch, the inspection detector and the one or more battery cells are carried by the frame. The inspection detector is configured to detect a characteristic of an interface region between the pipes. The one or more battery cells are configured to power the drive motor, the inspection detector and the weld torch.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2015Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: CRC-EVANS PIPELINE INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: Shankar T. Rajagopalan, Siddharth Mallick, Brian L. Kirk, Jose C. Bouche, Jason W. Curbo, Jonathan B. Kettelkamp, Lawrence Sniderman, Shailesh Radhakrishnan

Publication number: 20180029154Abstract: A field system for welding two pipes includes a first pipe engagement structure, a second pipe engagement structure, one or more weld torches, a motor and one or more processors. The one or more weld torches are configured to be positioned within the pipes to create an internal weld at an interface region between the pipes. The motor is operatively associated with the one or more weld torches to rotate the one or more weld torch along the interface region between the pipes. The one or more processors control the motor and the one or more weld torches. The one or more processors operate the motor and the one or more weld torches to generate a complete circumferential weld along the interface region by rotating the one or more weld torches along the interface region in a single rotational direction until the complete circumferential weld is completed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2017Publication date: February 1, 2018Inventors: Shankar T. Rajagopalan, Siddharth Mallick, Brian L. Kirk, Jose C. Bouche, Jason W. Curbo, Jonathan B. Kettelkamp, Lawrence Sniderman, Shailesh Radharkishnan, Marcus Janes, Jared Proegler

Publication number: 20180031152Abstract: A welded pipe assembly includes a first and a second metal pipes, and a welded joint or welded material connecting the first pipe with the second pipe. The first and second metal pipes each have a length of at least 30? and an exterior diameter of less than 24?. The weld material includes a plurality of weld pass layers including a first internal pass layer and a second internal pass layer disposed on top of the first internal pass layer. The second internal pass layer is positioned closer to an interior longitudinal axis of the welded first and second pipes than the first internal pass layer. The welded joint includes a first internal bevel formed in the first metal pipe and a second internal bevel formed in the second metal pipe. The first internal pass layer is disposed in a region defined by the first and the second internal bevels.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2017Publication date: February 1, 2018Inventors: Shankar T. Rajagopalan, Siddharth Mallick, Brian L. Kirk, Jose C. Bouche, Jason W. Curbo, Jonathan B. Kettelkamp, Lawrence Sniderman, Shailesh Radharkishnan, Marcus Janes, Jared Proegler
