Abstract

This paper describes the design and construction of equipment for the verification of internally coated welded pipe connections used to transport fluids in the oil sector, to characterize the different failures that occur in the welding and installation processes before implementing the transport systems. This equipment permits the detection of failures and problems that may occur in the installation processes, using the technique of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The equipment is provided with a mechanical system for moving the measurement device through pipes of 6 to 12 inches in diameter. It can detect flaws in the coatings such as blisters, cracks, fissures and burns produced principally by transport and high temperatures in the welding process. This system includes a measurement equipment based on the impedance spectroscopy technique (EIS) and a user interface that allows moving the device throughout the pipe, controlling the measurement point by performing scans in 4 main points at 0°,90°,180° and 270°, storing the measurement data and processing them in a Matlab graphic interface. The portability design has a Bluetooth communication system and an power cable of the system and make the pipe ground connection. The tests realized during the development of the equipment permitted to characterize the impedance of several surfaces and to associate ranges to the different imperfections in the coatings.
