Equipment

With over 15 years experience in developing innovative solutions for the oil and gas pipeline installation sector and beyond, OMS are well positioned to meet the needs of businesses experiencing pipe problems and challenges. We’ve created a range of equipment to measure, inspect and analyse the crucial aspects of pipes, enabling engineers to continue with their work and meet project deadlines.

 HiLo measurement

Reduce HiLo in pipes aligned for welding and build stronger, longer lasting assets.

  • Closed Gap tool measures external HiLo geometry

  • Open Gap tool measures internal HiLo geometry

  • Improve weld quality

  • Easy to use with magnetic base and calibration/verification stand

  • Highly accurate + traceable

  • Industry standard tool

 End squareness measurement

*THIS TOOL IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE*

Pipes with out-of-square ends cause problems for pipeline welders, particularly in the J-lay process. Using our end squareness tool operators can measure the end squareness of an oil or gas pipe prior to welding, helping to achieve a better fit-up. The tool can be used in any situation requiring a better square.

  • Fully-digital

  • Direct readout from calibrated dial gauge

  • Lightweight but rigid carbon fibre construction

  • Repeatable, traceable and reliable

  • Adjustable for pipe sizes from 6” to 36”

  • Accuracy to 0.1 mm

 Girth weld measurement

The girth weld tool determines the shape of any weld flushing. Measuring the shape of the weld and the surrounding area makes it possible to calculate pipe wall thickness. If welds are over-ground pipe wall thickness can be reduced to a point where pipe fatigue life can be compromised. Weld flushing minimises fatigue in the weld region by smoothing out the shape of the weld and any undercuts where cracks could form.

  • Measures weld contour and grinding

  • Lightweight with magnetic clamp

  • Measurement at any distance

  • Calibrated dial gauge with hardened measurement probe

  • Traceable and repeatable measurements
