CA 2737603

The present application provides techniques for inspecting a pipe (202), or rather measuring one or more characteristics of a pipe (202), using radiation (212). A carriage (102), mounted to the pipe (202), may provide a mechanism for propelling a radiation source (108) and a detector (110) along the pipe (202). The detector (110) is configured such that it can receive radiation (212) that has traversed both a wall (218) of the pipe (202) and an obstacle, such as a pipe support (514). In this way, portions of a pipe that are traditionally difficult to inspect may be inspected easily with minimal human intervention.

La présente invention porte sur des techniques pour inspecter un tuyau (202), ou plutôt mesurer une ou plusieurs caractéristiques d'un tuyau (202), à l'aide d'un rayonnement (212). Un chariot (102), monté sur le tuyau (202), peut fournir un mécanisme pour propulser une source de rayonnement (108) et un détecteur (110) le long du tuyau (202). Le détecteur (110) est configuré de telle sorte qu'il peut recevoir un rayonnement (212) qui a traversé à la fois une paroi (218) du tuyau (202) et un obstacle, tel qu'un support de tuyau (514). De cette façon, des parties d'un tuyau qui sont traditionnellement difficiles à inspecter peuvent être inspectées facilement avec un minimum d'intervention humaine.
