- All inspection personnel shall wear appropriate PPE and comply with HSE requirements.
- Measurement instruments shall be cared for, held, and handled properly as per instructions.
Inspection Apparatus
- Direct reading gage or go-no-go type gage is used to locate the area of OD reduction.
- The typical OD Gage is a Go-No-Go tool that is used to locate reductions of the pipe outside diameter.
- The pipe OD surface shall be free from scale or heavy coatings exceeding 0.010-inch thickness.
Equipment Calibration
- The OD gage calibration shall be verified at the applicable maximum and minimum OD values.
- When using the setting rod to verify the calibration of the OD Gage, the deviation indication (pointer) shall be set at “0”.
Procedure
- The OD gage shall be dragged along the tube length while rotating the pipe and holding the gage perpendicular to the tube.
- If the tube diameter is excessively worn or reduced, the OD gage can determine the smallest permissible size by reading the indication pointer.
Reporting
- OD Gage tube inspection shall be recorded in the drill pipe inspection report (CRC-FO-DPIR-XX) for each joint.
- The inspection report shall highlight the OD wear which is OK, Reduced, or Increased with red character.
