Geometry Measurement of Pipes and Rolled Metal Products

ULTRAMETRIX

ULTRAMETRIX is equipment for automatic measurement of the geometric parameters of pipes with diameters up to 1420 mm.

The system consists of two independent subsystems:

A system for measuring diameter, ovality and straightness around the entire pipe circumference. It includes a pipe cross-section profile measurement module and a straightness measurement module;
A system for measuring bevel parameters at the pipe ends and end squareness, as well as the parameters of the weld seam and the heat-affected zone.

The monolithic rigid measuring base of the pipe straightness measurement system is stabilized and dampens external vibrations and natural oscillations
The pipe straightness measurement scheme makes it possible to measure the straightness of both the pipe centre line and the entire surface. An accurate three-dimensional model of the pipe is built from the position of the centre line and the profiles in each cross-section. It can be used to calculate the straightness of any section as required by the customer.
Automatic alignment and calibration of the laser scanners. An automatic calibration station and the calibration software module of the computer system are used for alignment and calibration. The equipment is aligned and calibrated automatically without operator involvement. The calibration results are saved as an electronic report and can be printed.
The measurement scheme makes it possible to measure the complete pipe surface profile with a resolution of at least 5 mm. This makes it possible to detect surface defects, visualize forming defects from the expander, and use statistical analysis to plan condition-based maintenance of process equipment, thereby preventing rejects.
