Title:
PIPE WALL THICKNESS MEASUREMENT DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/188472
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a pipe wall thickness measurement device with which it is possible to measure, with minimal burden to a measurer and in a short period of time, the amount of change in the wall thickness of a pipe. The pipe wall thickness measurement device comprises a reference center axis determination unit 10, a three-dimensional scanner 20, a measurement center axis determination unit 30, and a wall thickness change amount measurement unit 40. The reference center axis determination unit 10 determines, from longitudinal three-dimensional design data of an outside surface based on design specifications of a pipe in an initial state, the longitudinal center axis of the pipe in the initial state to be a reference center axis. The measurement center axis determination unit 30 extracts, from three-dimensional scan data obtained by the three-dimensional scanner 20, at least two sites having an outside diameter similar to that in the three-dimensional design data, and determines a line passing through each of the center points of the outside diameter of the extracted sites to be a measurement center axis. The wall thickness change amount measurement unit 40 matches the reference center axis and the measurement center axis, compares the outside surfaces in the three-dimensional scan data with the three-dimensional design data, and measures the amount of change in the wall thickness of the pipe subject to measurement.
