Direct Measurement of Strain
Monitoring and understanding the intricate strain patterns in pipelines is crucial for their integrity and safety. With Kiefner’s advanced vibrating wire strain gauges mounted directly onto the pipeline, we have crafted a state-of-the-art data collection system. This system is adept at transmitting strain values to a user-friendly dashboard at predetermined intervals, enabling clients to be instantly alerted of ground shifts resulting from seismic activities or subsidence, commonly witnessed in scenarios like long wall mining.
- Distance Calculation: At the inception of the project, our experts employ a beam model approach, taking into account known pipe properties, to meticulously calculate the optimum distance between sensors.
- Threshold Setting: Kiefner seamlessly collaborates with your operations and engineering teams. Our objective is to evaluate historical data, ensuring that informed threshold alarms are put in place for proactive monitoring.
The Kiefner Development Approach
Our technique is innovative and accurate. By measuring strain at three pivotal locations around the pipe, we have the capability to deduce the stress within the pipe at any given moment. Furthermore, factoring in assumptions based on the installation season and the geographical specifics, residual stress values can be precisely accounted for.
