Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a wide voltage power supply real-time online wall thickness monitoring device, which is used for online monitoring of surface process wall thickness during exploration testing and completion flowback, and belongs to the field of oil and natural gas exploration and development. Background Art
[0002] During oil and gas exploration and production, corrosion or erosion can cause pipeline walls to thin, significantly reducing their reliability. Thinning pipeline walls increase the risk of leaks. To address this issue, a device that monitors wall thickness in real time is needed to provide an early warning.
[0003] Existing thickness measuring devices are mainly handheld. Handheld pipe wall thickness monitors use ultrasonic detection technology to measure the pipe wall thickness by emitting ultrasonic waves and receiving echo signals. The main problems are:
[0004] 1. Insufficient continuous monitoring capabilities: These systems are typically used for periodic inspections or emergency testing, and are not capable of continuous, real-time monitoring. Operators must regularly visit the site for measurements, making it impossible to obtain dynamic information on changes in pipe wall thickness.
[0005] 2. Insufficient data continuity and integrity: Due to intermittent measurement, the acquired data has time gaps, making it difficult to capture instantaneous changes in pipe wall thickness, and it is easy to miss key change trends or signs of early damage.
[0006] 3. High dependence on manual labor: It depends on the experience and technical level of the operator. The accuracy and consistency of the measurement results will be affected by the operation mode and environmental factors.
[0007] 4. Slow response speed: Due to the need for manual operation, the detection frequency is low, the time to discover the problem will be delayed, and it is impossible to provide timely warning in the early stage of pipeline problems.
[0008] 5. The application range of battery power supply is limited and the adaptability of the device power supply is insufficient: the unstable power supply voltage of the offshore mobile platform will cause damage to the device due to power supply problems, resulting in a high failure rate.
