Considerations on the Evaluation and Management of Volumetric Surface Defects on Pipelines Using 3D Scanning and Finite Element Analysis
Keyword(s):
The paper proposes an original approach in the evaluation of the Volumetric Surface Defects (VSD) appearing in pipelines. The methodology we propose consists in performing, in the first phase, a superficial polishing (molding) of the VSD, such as the micro-cracks are eliminated. The second step implies 3D scanning of the molded VSD. The third step implies a comparative evaluation, using the Finite Element Analysis, of the pipeline with the polished VSD, and rectangular shaped machined VSDs. The comparative analysis will allow choosing the best scenario, both in terms of pipeline strength and economic efficiency (expressed in volume of the removed material).
