Requirements for Pipe Inspection in Plant Facilities 23.04.2017 Requirements for Pipe Inspection in Plant Facilities Tool Requirements: 1.5D bend passing back to back Single entry, bi-directional (BiDi) Multi diameter Vertical inspection capability Self-propelled driven Wireless or Wire line operation Geometry unit and camera system Modular high res. inspection units Step Back to the general Idea for the ROBOTIC Inspection or RSS. ROSEN will provide tool-box solutions, which can be adapted to the inspection task. The equipment is furnished withy an autonomous drive motion system. The control can be Remote, an intelligent navigation (in this case sensors and control algorithm would be required) or can provide an adaptive robotic inspection, which would require a more complicated control, allowing an evaluation and decision by the system in real-time) 6
