Special Pipeline Inspectors Kit (N88-SPI)

The Special Pipeline Inspectors Kit (N88-SPI) has evolved by replacing the Basic Pit Gauge Blade with the Tubing Inspection Gauge’s Blade. Pipeline Inspectors continue to demand greater versatility from Western’s Pit Gauge Kits. The latest need is to measure pipe edge alignment (Hi-Lo) with pipe clamps in place. Secondarily, inspectors want to measure undercut and weld reinforcement height where the coatings are closer to the pipe ends. These demands are satisfied with Western’s specialized Tubing Inspection Gauge, which was developed for meaning weld parameters on Aircraft hydraulic Lines.

The Reaching Plus Blade is (152mm / 6”) long, so it will deal with larger pits, but can’t tackle large areas of Weight-Loss-Corrosion or Dents, almost as well as one of our Bridging Pit Gauges. In any case, the long cut-away nose, at the Dial Indicator end of the blade allows this Gauge to measure right up to a Weld, Riser, or Re-Pad, and over the Weld Reinforcement. Specified by a Senior Inspector, the Pocket Pit Gauge allows inspection on complex curvatures, such as the inside radius on elbows and other fittings. Other complex curvatures, such as pump housings, valve bodies, impellers, etc. Two specific uses of the specialized Tubing Blade are outlined above, but we’re sure Inspectors will tell us about more applications.

The Special Pipeline Inspectors Kit consists of;
