Title:
METHOD FOR DETECTING SHAPE OF WELDED STEEL PIPE BUTT-SEAM, METHOD FOR WELDED STEEL PIPE QUALITY CONTROL USING SAID METHOD, AND DEVICE FOR SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/116510
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for detecting the shape of a welded steel pipe butt-seam that makes it possible to accurately detect a step at a welded steel pipe butt-seam without requiring a high-speed data processing device or complicated mechanism. A non-contact means 14 is used to scan a butt-seam 12 of a welded steel pipe 10 and shape coordinate data L is obtained that is for a specific detection range including the butt-seam 12 and is laid out on a two-dimensional plane. Coordinates of the following points are selected from the shape coordinate data L: the starting point A and ending point D of the specific detection range, a first selected point B that is positioned between the starting point A and the butt-seam 12, and a second selected point C that is positioned between the butt-seam 12 and the ending point D. A first approximate circle α1 that includes the starting point A, the ending point D, and the first selected point B is calculated, and a second approximate circle α2 that includes the starting point A, the ending point D, and the second selected point C is calculated. The deviation between the obtained first approximate circle α1 and second approximate circle α2 is used as an index for expressing the shape of the butt-seam 12.
