Case Study
A pipeline installation contractor has used the OMS Straightness
Tool toset the straightener on a spooling pipelay vessel. Prior to
this method itwas necessary to pass excess pipe through the
straightener, drop it tothe deck and then measure the straightness
horizontally beforeadjusting again. With the OMS tool the
straightness measurement canbe carried out in-situ resulting in
faster, easier and more accuratemeasurement and less waste material
on deck.
The design height of the tool parts allows use with
coated pipe provided that cutbacks are available tomount the
tool parts on the pipe. Pipe coating up to90mm can be
accomodated.

Sagging pipe. The laser spot falls some distanceabove the zero
position. This offset can be read offdirectly in mm.
The retro-reflector is used in setting the laser beamas a
parallel reference line.
The target graticule is used to assess deviations of thepipe
from the reference line.
