Ovality checker

Verify pipe ovality to ensure pipeline integrity and prolong asset lifetime. When pipe is reeled for offshore laying its ovality can increase during the process. The tensioners that reel and unreel the pipe can affect the shape, leading to areas of stress and potential integrity problems in years to come. Developed following a customer request, the OMS ovality checking system uses a removable ring with mounted laser sensors to monitor pipe ovality in real time.
