Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sensor installation equipment technology, and in particular to a tool for installing ultrasonic sensors. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasonic sensors are widely used in the oil and gas industry. They use piezoelectric elements to excite and receive ultrasonic signals, and analyze the received time-domain signals to obtain information about the thickness of the internal wall of the structure. Ultrasonic sensors come in wired active, wireless active, and wireless passive forms. During sensor installation, the piezoelectric element needs to be coupled to the object being measured (e.g., metal pipes and elbows) to transmit ultrasonic energy from the piezoelectric element to the object. The quality of the coupling determines the quality of the ultrasonic signal. Permanently fixed ultrasonic sensors are typically coupled with adhesive, which is liquid during installation and solidifies after curing. During curing, pressure must be maintained on the piezoelectric element to ensure a thin adhesive layer and prevent displacement. Utility Model Content
