Temperature Monitoring: DTS (1/2) Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) technology : Raman Reflectometry (OTDR, analysis of back-scattered light) Continuous temperature profiles along each fibre with a resolution of 1m and very good accuracy (+/- 0.5 C) and resolution about 0.1 C Integration in the Flexible Pipe Manufacturing process: SS tubes integrated in Flexible Pipe Manufacture (Armour layer or bundle) Optical fibre inserted inside SS tubes SS tubes 15
Temperature Monitoring: DTS (2/2) Good Sensitivity of system Calibration of model to forecast temperature in different elements of Pipe. Applications Flow Assurance Annulus Flooding 16
Curvature Sensor subc Rods : based on Optical Fibre FBG sensors GRP rod with 4 optical fibres Sensors at about 1m (or less) intervals Integration in Bend Stiffener 4 moulded voids included in design Calibration of System Solutions have been developed 17
Acoustic Emission of wire Rupture Used on Full Scale test Several times 2002 Tensile test on the traction bench in LeTrait 2007 Corrosion Fatigue test Additional work ongoing to qualify for Offshore use. Calibration, fixation and location on flexible pipe needs close collaboration 18
