Measure Profile/contour of a pipe
Measure Profile/contour of a pipe
(OP)
Does anyone know of a method or tool that can measure the circumferential profile/contour of a deformed pipe? This "device" would have to be capable of measuring a pipe as large as 26" OD in an outside enviroment. The data obtained from this device would be used to plot out the shape and complete an FEA.
Any ideas?
A simple idea is to fabricate a ring that would be wedged into place around a pipe. The gap between the ring and pipe would be measured to obtain a profile. The only issue with this idea is that it will not accurately capture and sharp deformations. Are there laser gauges that could do something similar?
