SV3 Electromagnetic Inspection

The following items should be used as a guide in choosing a position for unit operation: 4.1.1

The operator should have a clear view of both jacks, and as much of the inspection area as possible.

NOTE: The operator has the option of positioning the desk inside or outside the instrument truck. Positioning the desk outside the truck allows greater visibility and accessibility to the pipe.

5.0

4.1.2

The chosen location should not block off a road or cause inconvenience at the pipe yard or drilling location.

4.1.3

Ensure the pipe rack is stable to an extent whereby pipe can be moved safely and that adequate space is available for rolling the pipe.

4.2

Applying Power to the Inspection System. A sequential application of power should include steps to prevent potentially hazardous power surges.

4.3

Buggy Assembly and/or Adjustment. The assembly and/or adjustment process involves: an examination of the eight (8) shoes to ensure free movement; examining centralizer rollers to verify free movement and good condition; clamping the assembly on the pipe to verify the latch is working properly; and rotation of the electric drive motors in both the forward and backward direction also examine the drive wheels to assure they are in good working condition.

TUBOSCOPE REFERENCE STANDARDS 5.1

Eight (8) Hole Flux Leakage Standard. Only Tuboscope manufactured eight (8) hole reference standards shall be used to standardize the SV3 inspection system as specified in SOP III-001. These reference standards are available from the warehouse.

NOTE: Each NDT Systems buggy inspection system comes with its own eight (8) hole SONOSCOPE® standard. It has been determined after extensive testing by the QTS that when standardizing with the NDT Systems eight (8) hole standard, the inspection system will be set at a lower sensitivity level than when standardizing with the Tuboscope eight (8) hole standard. To obtain proper sensitivity a Tuboscope eight (8) hole Drill Pipe Standard shall be used. 5.2

Wall Thickness Standard. Only Tuboscope manufactured wall reference standards shall be used to standardize the SV3 inspection system as specified in SOP III-001. These reference standards are available from the warehouse. Copyright © 2005 Tuboscope, P.O. Box 808, Houston, Texas 77001

SV3 Electromagnetic Inspection

STANDARDIZATION 6.1

Prior to standardization, all instrumentation shall be turned on and allowed to warm-up for a minimum of 30 minutes. Power to the mag coil power supply shall be left off during this time.

6.2

Standardization will involve a POSITIVE MASTER GAIN adjustment, a NEGATIVE MASTER GAIN adjustment and also a SIGNAL CONDITIONER SYSTEM (SCS) GAIN plus individual shoe CHANNEL GAIN adjustment. Overall SYSTEM GAIN is controlled by use of the POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE MASTER GAIN circuit. In conjunction with adjustment of the MASTER GAIN circuit, uniform electronic sensitivity is maintained through adjustment of the individual shoe CHANNEL GAIN controls.

6.3

Preliminary Desk Adjustments 6.3.1

Positive Master Gain - Set turn pot to 5.0.

6.3.2

Negative Master Gain - Set turn pot to 5.0.

6.3.3

SCS Gain - Set turn pot to 5.0.

6.3.4

SONOSCOPE Shoe Indicator Gains - Set all eight (8) turn pots to 2.0

6.3.5

Switch all eight (8) SONOSCOPE® Channels to their OFF position.

6.3.6

Turn the Frequency Response switch to the LOW FREQUENCY or the (DOWN) position.

WARNING: DO NOT INSPECT PIPE WITH THE FREQUENCY RESPONSE SWITCH IN THE HIGH OR UP POSITION - DEFECTS COULD BE MISSED! 6.3.7

Run strip chart recorder. Adjust the POSITIVE MASTER OFFSET turn pot until the baseline trace on the top graph is adjusted until slight signal movement is detected from the bottom of the graph (positive indication on strip chart).

NOTE: Each horizontal line on the strip chart represents 5 mm. 6.3.8

Run strip chart recorder. Adjust the NEGATIVE MASTER OFFSET turn pot until the baseline trace on the second from the top graph signal (negative indication on strip chart) produces a slight baseline signal movement from the top of the graph.

6.3.9

6.4

SV3 Electromagnetic Inspection

Run strip chart recorder. Adjust the SCS OFFSET turn pot until the baseline trace on the third from the top graph signal is adjusted until slight baseline signal movement is detected from the bottom of the graph.

Positioning the Drill Pipe Reference Standard 6.4.1

To accommodate adjustment of the individual shoe channel gains, utilization of the “Tuboscope Drill Pipe 8-Hole Standard" is required.

6.4.2

Buggy Speed Adjustment. The recommended buggy speed is 60 fpm (18,3 mpm) with some slight adjustments required depending upon pipe conditions. Prior to standardizing, measure and mark with chalk a 15 foot (4,6 m) distance on a length of pipe to be inspected. Run and time the buggy assembly, making adjustments until it travels 15 feet (4,6 m) in 15 seconds for a speed of 60 fpm (18,3 mpm).

6.4.3

Place the buggy and mag coil onto the Tuboscope eight (8) hole standard, with standard's arrow stamp in the direction of buggy travel. Make certain the buggy position is at the beginning of the pipe (end with stamped arrow). The eight (8) hole standard’s grove shall be positioned at 3:00 o'clock. Due to the shoe orientation on all NDT Systems drill pipe buggy's, shoe 8 will appear first on the strip chart and shoe 1 will appear last (8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1).

NOTE: During the inspection always place the mag coil in the same position on the pipe (plug to left) as when standardizing with the eight (8) hole standard. If the mag coil position is reversed (plug to right) the magnetic polarity changes causing the transverse signals to now be displayed on the negative (opposite) side of the strip chart. 6.4.4

Turn all eight (8) SONOSCOPE® Channels to their ON position.

6.4.5

Turn the Drill Pipe coil switch to the ON position, then adjust the mag coil current to read approximate 3.8 amps (3.8 amps X 2,000 coil turns = 7600 amp turns) for the following sizes; 6-5/8 inch (168,3 mm), 5-1/2 inch (139,7 mm), 5 inch (127,0 mm), 4-1/2 inch (114,3 mm), 4 inch (101,6 mm).

CAUTION: When inspecting pipe sizes 3-1/2 inch (88,9 mm), 2-7/8 inch (73,0 mm) and 2-3/8 inch (60,3 mm), if amp settings above 3.0, body wall indications will not appear on the strip chart due to the magnetic saturation of the body wall Hall probes.

6.5

Chart Speed Adjustment. Adjust the chart speed (to setting 3) so that a full length of drill pipe is displayed before the paper enters the paper take-up assembly. Approximately, 18 inches (46 cm) of paper is recommended for a 30 foot (9,1 m) length of drill pipe.

6.6

Standardizing the SONOSCOPE® Channels 6.6.1

Instruct a member of the crew to be prepared to guide the buggy along the Tuboscope eight (8) hole standard once the drive switch is engaged.

6.6.2

Start the buggy by turning the Buggy switch to the forward position.

6.6.3

As the buggy travels over the Tuboscope eight (8) hole standard, eight (8) signal peaks should be displayed on the strip chart recorder, in order 8-1.

6.6.4

Adjust the individual channel GAINS as necessary to achieve a 15 mm signal, ± 1 mm from each channel.

6.6.5

Setting Pit Lights to Trigger. Run the strip chart recorder and hold the View Threshold switch in the down position then adjust the Threshold turn pot until the trace on the Positive graph reaches a minimum of 20 mm or max. Any signal which registers half (10 mm) will now trigger the appropriate pit light which is located right above the SONOSCOPE® Gain Turn Pots. Readjust the pit light threshold level to suit the particular characteristics of the pipe being inspected or the flaw or defect under investigation.

NOTE: If the Master Gain is set too high (above 5.0) the pit light threshold will not be linear! 6.6.6

Signal Conditioner System Adjustment. Run the strip chart recorder and hold the SCS View Level switch in the down position then adjust the SCS Level turn pot until the trace on the positive graph reaches 6 mm. Now any signal > 6 mm will appear on the SCS graph (third from the TOP). The height of the signal on the SCS graph can be controlled by adjusting the SCS Gain turn pot. During the actual inspection, the SCS level shall be adjusted clockwise only as far as necessary to make the chart readable. When the View Level switch is held in the down position adjust it above any baseline noise level. By setting the level just above the grass line (noise level), the SCS trace will display only signals of particular interest to the operator.

NOTE: No attempt should be made to standardize the SCS trace. Copyright © 2005 Tuboscope, P.O. Box 808, Houston, Texas 77001
