Method and system for identifying the location of an obstruction in a pipeline
14 Feb 23
There is provided a method and system for identifying the location of an obstruction in a pipeline comprising: sensing the magnetic field generated by a pipeline at an initial pressure from a first location along the length of the pipeline to obtain a baseline reading; altering the pressure from a first end until a maximum pressure or minimum pressure is attained; sensing the magnetic field at the maximum or minimum pressure from the first location to obtain a stress reading; and identifying the location of the obstruction as a) being between a second end and the first location when there is a deviation between the stress reading and the baseline reading at the first location or as b) being between the first end and the first location when there is an absence of a deviation between the stress reading and the baseline reading at the first location.

Stabilizer for a pipeline inspection device
31 Jan 23
There is provided a pipeline inspection device stabilizer apparatus for use with a pipeline inspection device configured to assess the condition of a pipeline while being carried by a moving liquid in the pipeline, the device including an inspection module, the apparatus comprising a forward spacer secured in front of the inspection module and a rear spacer secured behind the inspection module, each of the front spacer and the rear spacer configured to move between a collapsed position close to the device and an outward position extending away from the device and towards the pipeline wall, wherein when in the outward position the front and rear spacers contact the pipeline wall to distance the inspection module from the pipeline wall and maintain axial alignment or substantial axial alignment of the inspection module with the longitudinal center of the pipeline.

Surround for pipeline inspection equipment
10 Jan 23
A surround for protecting an acoustic device for sending and/or receiving acoustic signals positioned therein from impact as the surround is rolled along an interior surface of a fluid-containing pipeline, the surround comprising: a shell comprising an exterior segment configured to roll along the interior surface, the exterior segment defining at least one acoustic aperture configured to allow the passage of acoustic signals therethrough; and a lattice configured between the exterior segment and the acoustic device, the lattice comprising a plurality of unit cells, each unit cell defining an opening, wherein the plurality of unit cells are interconnected and define a plurality of openings, wherein the plurality of openings allow fluid to move between the interior of the surround and the exterior of the surround and enable the passage of the acoustic signals transmitted and/or received by the acoustic device such that the surround reduces the diminution of the quality and/or strength of the acoustic signals.
