TELESCOPIC GAUGE CUTTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240344445 titled 'TELESCOPIC GAUGE CUTTER
The abstract describes a method for detecting obstructions in a conduit of a tubular by using a deployment device connected to two cylindrical rods of different diameters and an outer sleeve with stretchable elements.
- The method involves running the deployment device into the conduit, positioning the outer sleeve around the larger cylindrical rod, and detecting obstructions by shifting the outer sleeve due to interaction with the obstruction.
- The outer sleeve is initially in a first position around the larger rod and moves to a second position around the smaller rod when an obstruction is detected.
- By detecting the obstruction, the method allows for efficient identification and removal of blockages in the conduit of the tubular.
- This innovation provides a simple yet effective way to monitor and address obstructions in tubular conduits, improving maintenance and operational efficiency.
- The use of different diameter rods and an outer sleeve with stretchable elements enhances the sensitivity and accuracy of obstruction detection in the tubular system.
Potential Applications: - Oil and gas pipelines - Water distribution systems - Industrial piping networks
Problems Solved: - Efficient detection of obstructions in tubular conduits - Improved maintenance and operational efficiency - Prevention of blockages and flow disruptions
Benefits: - Early detection of obstructions - Reduced downtime for maintenance - Cost savings on repairs and replacements
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Obstruction Detection System for Tubular Conduits" This technology can be utilized in various industries such as oil and gas, water management, and manufacturing, where the efficient operation of tubular systems is crucial for productivity and safety.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the method of using different diameter rods and an outer sleeve improve obstruction detection in tubular conduits? 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits of early obstruction detection in industrial piping networks?
Original Abstract Submitted
a method for detecting an obstruction in a conduit of a tubular includes running a deployment device connected to a first cylindrical rod and a second cylindrical rod into the conduit of the tubular. the second cylindrical rod has a diameter larger than a diameter of the first cylindrical rod. the method further includes positioning an outer sleeve, including a plurality of stretchable elements connecting a plurality of panels to one another, in a first position, wherein the outer sleeve is disposed concentrically around the second cylindrical rod in the first position. the method further includes detecting the obstruction by shifting the outer sleeve from the first position to a second position due to an interaction between the obstruction and the outer sleeve, wherein the outer sleeve is concentrically disposed around the first cylindrical rod in the second position.
