Pain points of submarine pipe welding pairing
Manual measurement is inefficient and has few samples
Manually, only four sets of data are measured at the pipe end to confirm the major axis and minor axis. Due to the small number of measurement samples, it is usually difficult to find the true major axis and minor axis.
Heavy reliance on operational experience
Since there are no strict pairing standards, different operators use different pairing methods. Compared with newcomers, experienced operators can complete pairing quickly.
Unable to remove abnormal pipes in advance
Abnormal pipes cannot be identified and removed before the subsea pipeline is loaded onto the ship, resulting in the need for grinding after entering the operation line due to abnormal data on the pipe end, which delays the pairing time.
Unable to find the best pairing angle
Since only the long and short axes are used for pairing, perfect long and short pairing cannot be achieved. At the same time, due to the limitations of measurement data and computing power, it is impossible to find the best pairing angle manually.
pipeMaten One-stop toolbox for subsea pipe pairing
pipeMaten includes handheld measurement tools, automatic pairing, abnormal pipe analysis, and pipeline generation, providing all tools for offshore pipeline pairing in one stop.
Pipe Cutting AI Engine Advantages
Quickly measure pipe end data
The handheld pipe end geometry data measuring instrument can quickly complete all paired data measurements, and the single-end measurement time is 20 seconds.
Automatic sorting of pipe ends
After the pipe end data is measured, pipeMaten automatically completes the classification according to the classification standards to facilitate subsequent management.
Analyze and eliminate abnormal pipes in advance
Simulate all pipe end joints and find out the pipe ends that do not meet the requirements. Avoid unqualified pipes entering the production line, which will cause additional grinding work and delay the pipe laying speed.
Ultra-fast automatic perfect pairing
pipeMaten can pair two pipe ends within 1-3 seconds and provide specific rotation angles and operation procedures. The pairing results fully meet welding requirements.
