Method of and apparatus for 3-D imaging a pipe |
| 摘要 |
An apparatus for three-dimensionally imaging a pipe centered on and extending along an axis has supports for supporting the pipe by engagement with only an inside surface of the pipe such that an outer surface of the pipe is entirely exposed. A scanner is spacedly juxtaposed with and around the outer surface of the pipe. The scanner and the pipe can be relatively axially displaced such that the scanner passes along a full length of the pipe for scanning of the entire outer surface. |

1. An apparatus for three-dimensionally imaging a pipe centered on and extending along an axis, the apparatus comprising:
a pair of axially spaced supports engageable axially into respective ends of the pipe with respective predetermined points on an inner surface of the pipe for supporting the pipe by engagement with only the inner surface of the pipe such that an outer surface of the pipe is entirely exposed; a scanner spacedly juxtaposed with and around the outer surface of the pipe; and means for relatively axially displacing the scanner and the pipe such that the scanner passes along a full length of the pipe for scanning of the entire outer surface. |
