2.5 Equipment data

The FSM-IT is a technology for inspection of metallic pipes, pipelines and containers. Based on the patented FSM (Field Signature Method) technique, FSM-IT detects metal loss, pitting or grooving due to corrosion by detection of small changes in the way current flows trough the metallic structure.

FSM-IT consists of an appropriate sensing matrix, a portable instrument and MultiTrend PC software for administration of the measurement points, analysis of data and presenting and printing of the corrosion measurement results.

The portable instrument unit is connected to the sensing matrices to make an FSM measurement and to buffer data in IU memory. Measurement data is later transferred to a PC running MultiTrend software.

A special charger is used to charge the instrument unit battery pack. The battery pack is the power supply for the instrument in a normal measurement situation. The battery pack is easily replaceable to ensure additional power for the IU.

The Li-Ion part of battery pack provides power for the instrumentation part of the instrument. The Lead batteries are used to provide power for the actual measurement on the pipe. It set a high excitation current on the pipe, up to 200A. The measurements are in the 0.15 mV area. Lead batteries are 2V 12.5 Ah, and Li-Ion are 7.2V 1.35Ah

Inspection points monitored by the FSM-IT system can be upgraded to on-line measurement positions at additional costs. Contact Roxar assistance as shown in §3.1. Performance data of the FSM-IT measurement system:

Measurement Defect Typical accuracy Comment

General corrosion +/– 0.5 % of actual WT E.g: 20 mm WT gives a resolution of 0.1mm

Weld corrosion +/– 5 % of actual WT Trained MultiTrend user is needed.

Pitting (pit width > 1.5 WT) +/– 10 % of actual WT Analysis at Roxar is needed.1

Erosion +/– 2.5 % of actual WT Analysis at Roxar is needed.

Table 2.4: Typical accuracy of FSM-IT measurement system

1 To achieve the specified accuracy for pit quantification, the pin matrix must be customized for pit

detection. At present, pit analysis is not part of the standard MultiTrend program and such analysis consequently has to be performed by a CorrOcean assistance group.

3 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

This section gives more specific description of the various items of the various products and is the 'textbook' of the manual, where the various measuring techniques are fully described, together with recommendations for users of the various types of equipment.

3.1 General information

FSM-IT has its force applied in the following applications: • Carbon steel structures where corrosion / erosion may be a problem. • Stainless steel structures where erosion may be a problem. • Given accuracy, as specified in §2.4, is adequate. • Intrusive inspection methods and systems are not acceptable. • Off-line inspection system is acceptable. • Operator independence is important. • On-line inspection system may be a future request.

FSM-IT may not be the right choice in the following applications: • Stainless steel structures where narrow pitting is expected. • Short response times are required. E.g: inhibitor tuning. In such applications an on-

line traditional FSM system will be a better choice.

3.2 Measurement Principle

The FSM measurement principle is a non-intrusive monitoring technique designed to detect small changes in wall thickness. The technique involves passing a controlled excitation current through the structure to establish a unique electric field signature. Any subsequent changes that appear in the electric field, as a result of corrosion / erosion, will be detected as a ‘potential change’ across sensor pins attached to the outside of the structure.

General Corrosion: In this situation, corrosion is uniformly distributed inside the structure and the response is straightforward. The current distribution is uniform, and the loss of metal is linear related to the increase in resistance and the measured pin pair voltages. An increase in pin pair voltage can be directly related to general corrosion.

Weld Corrosion: Typical weld corrosion is narrow compared to the pin pair distance, i.e.: only a part of the target suffers from a reduction in wall thickness. The raw measurements have to be compensated by an empirical model. The actual depth of weld groove corrosion has to be calculated by special algorithms. If such model compensation is not employed, the wall thickness measurements will be strongly underestimated.

Pitting: Pitting introduces an even more complex situation than weld corrosion. At a pit, the increased resistance will cause the current to flow around the pit. In unprocessed data, a pit will typically look wider than its actual size, and the depth value is strongly underestimated. The adjacent pairs along the current direction contribute negative values due to the current decrease at these locations. If pitting analysis is not activated, the wall thickness measurements will be strongly underestimated. NOTE! At present, manual analysis by Roxar is needed.

Roxar ASA Document title: FSM-IT User Manual Rev.: 03 Roxar doc. No.: 641- 16959 - I - MU - 0020 Page: 11 of 31 Client doc. No.: Date: 2008-12-03

Interference with temperature variations: The electrical resistance in steel is a function of temperature. If the temperature in the measurement object increases by 10°C, the resistance will typically increase by 3% to 5% varying with the steel parameters. FSM-IT handles this problem in the following manner: A measuring reference, made of the same steel material is used for a direct compensation of temperature variations. The reference is thermally connected but electrically isolated from the measuring object. The temperatures of both the measuring object and of the steel-reference are measured with high accuracy. These temperature readings are used by the MultiTrend temperature compensation algorithms.

In high temperature systems, the temperature difference of the steel-reference and the object may be several degrees. If no temperature compensation is performed on such measurements, the data will look like results from general corrosion. It may even look like the wall thickness is increasing! MultiTrend contains temperature compensation algorithms to minimize such thermal effects.

4.3.2 Measurement acquisition at new locations

Proper handling of a new measurement tag presupposes the following steps:

ON SITE: Connecting to the tag: • The FSM-IT instrument must be switched OFF • Connect the IU to the tag by using the FSM-IT measurement cable • Switch the IU ON by pressing anywhere on the screen for minimum 3 seconds. • After booting, the IU will check internal status, check if a tag is connected, and identify the

tag based on SMI SW serial numbers and tag configuration file. When a tag is identified, the specific tag set-up parameters are used to configure the measurement system, i.e.: excitation current setting, measurement matrix configuration, etc...

The instrument acknowledges an identified tag by issuing several messages on the screen: • The tag is identified by configuration file <filename>, (a valid file name is displayed). • The instrument proceeds with current calculations — and reports the estimated current. If

an excitation current value not equal to zero is set, the automatic current calculation routine is skipped and the set current value is substituted.

NOTE! Initially the identification messages are shown for only ~10 seconds on the IU screen. The messages may, however, be reviewed by accessing page 2 of the instrument STATUS panel, cf § 5.4.3.

NOTE! If any error or warning message is displayed, Confer § 5.5 for proposed actions. Excitation current checking: • Wait until IU initialization and current setting routines are finished and the MAIN panel is

displayed. • Press the <MEASURE> button on the MAIN panel, (the MAIN panel is substituted by the

MEASUREMENT panel). • Press <MEASURE> button once more, (to take a single measurement). The

measurement summary has no significance at this stage, as no signature is yet present. • Press <RETURN> button, (to re-enter the MAIN panel). • Press <STATUS> button, and check the values named

Pin voltage status: I = xxx A (value of excitation current) Pair1 = yyy µV (value of obtained pin pair voltage)

The pin pair voltage should read ~150 µV (positive or negative). Proceed to manual current adjustment if deviation > 10%, (cf. § 5.4.1.7).

• Press <RETURN> button to re-enter the MAIN panel. Manual excitation current adjustment: (From instrument MAIN panel) • Press the <MEASURE> button on the MAIN panel, (the MAIN panel is substituted by the

MEASUREMENT panel). • Press the <ADVANCED> button, (a new button line is displayed) • Press the <E CURRENT> button, (a new button line with numerical keys is displayed)

A default excitation current value is shown. The value may be changed in steps by pressing one of the buttons: <–10 A>, <–1 A>, <+1 A>, or <+10 A>.

• When the desired value is reached, press the <RETURN> button to save the new value and re-enter the previous panel.

• Press the <RETURN> button once more to return to the MEASUREMENT panel. • (Eventually press the <RETURN> button once more to return to the MAIN panel.)

NOTE! The latest current value setting is not effective as a new default value for the tag until a 'signature' is taken!

Roxar ASA Document title: FSM-IT User Manual Rev.: 03 Roxar doc. No.: 641- 16959 - I - MU - 0020 Page: 14 of 31 Client doc. No.: Date: 2008-12-03

Signature generation: (From instrument MAIN panel) • Press the <MEASURE> button on the MAIN panel, (the MAIN panel is substituted by the

MEASUREMENT panel). • Press the <ADVANCED> button, (a new button line is displayed) • Press the <SIGNATURE> button to make a 'signature' measurement. • Press the <RETURN> button once more to return to the MEASUREMENT panel. • (Eventually press the <RETURN> button once more to return to the MAIN panel.)

NOTE! A signature should only be generated when the excitation current value seems reasonable.

NOTE! The signature measurement will be obtained using the most recent excitation current value. Any old instrument signatures will be overwritten.

Old 'signatures' cannot be recovered in the field, but this may be done by MultiTrend. The instrument 'signature' does not affect the data transferred to the MultiTrend database, it is solely used for data presentation on the instrument screen. Sequence measurements: (From instrument MAIN panel) • Press the <MEASURE> button on the MAIN panel, (the MAIN panel is substituted by the

MEASUREMENT panel). The instrument is now ready to take a sequence of 1, 3, 5 or 9 measurements. The default value for the connected tag is displayed.

• Press <MEASURE> button once more, (to take the desired sequence of measurements). • Check the measurement summary. Expected values are of the following magnitude:

MeanFC: ~ +/– 0.3 MaxFC: ~ 0.99 (for any SMI / pin pair number) MinFC: ~ –0.99

• If the measurement summary reveals values where: MaxFC – MinFC > 4,

The following items should be checked: Excitation current value and pin pair voltage status (~ 150 μV). Is the temperature stable — i.e.: measurement object thermally insulated? Good cable connections; e.g.: current excitation cable.

• Re-enter the MAIN panel and press the <PRESENT> button. Check the pin pair readings of SMI #1. 90% of the values should read FC-values less than 2‰ (ppt). If this is not the case, remove the potential causes for poor readings (cf: above check points)

• Press <MEASURE> button once more, (to take the desired sequence of measurements. Possibly, the length of the measurement sequence may be extended to further avoid noise and spurious results).

• Re-check the measurement summary, eventually all the presented pin pair readings of SMI #1.

Check IU and Tag status: (From instrument MAIN panel) • Press the <STATUS> button, (the MAIN panel is substituted by the STATUS panel,

page1). • Verify that the temperature readings read reasonable values.

NOTE! The <UPDATE> button of the STATUS panel will only update the date, time and battery voltage values until a regular measurement (or 'signature') is made. Once a measurement is finished, the temperature and pin voltage status values are also updated.

5.1 Operation instructions of FSM-IT portable instrument

The FSM-IT inspection system is based on the following elements: A measurement matrix with a connection point for the portable instrument, a portable instrument used to take and buffer FSM measurements from various locations, and a PC based software to administrate the data, analyze the data and present corrosion / erosion results.

A typical inspection sequence is as follows: The instrument is prepared for measurements as shown in § 5.1.2. In the field, the operator connects the instrument to selected measurement tags and performs measurements. Back in the office, the instrument is connected to a PC running MultiTrend, measurement data is downloaded to the PC, analyzed and presented by MultiTrend.

5.1.1 Connection to a measurement location

NOTE! The instrument must be switched OFF. (By pressing the <OFF> button in the MAIN panel).

Use the FSM-IT measurement cable to connect the instrument to a tag / measurement location. Switch ON the instrument (by pressing the touch screen anywhere for minimum 3 seconds) after connection is established.

NOTE! Switch OFF the instrument before disconnection.

5.1.2 Operation at established measurement locations

Before measurement:

• Switch on the instrument • Check battery condition plus time and date. (The batteries should be fully charged. I.e:

instrument battery > 8.0V, excitation battery ~ 2.2V.) • Instrument time and date may be synchronized with MultiTrend if necessary. • The spare battery pack should be charged.

The instrument should contain tag set-up information.

A 'hot work permit' is needed when measuring in EX graded zones. Measurement sequence: • Instrument is OFF. (If not, switch instrument OFF) • Connect instrument to the selected tag. • Switch ON the instrument by pressing the LCD screen anywhere for minimum 3 seconds. • Press the <MEASURE> button. (New MEASURE panel appears) • Press the <AVG NUM> button to select an appropriate number of readings to average

NOTE! A valid tag name should be shown in the TAG field of the second top line of the panel. No ERROR or WARNING sign should be shown in the STATUS field of the first top line of the panel. (For errors / warnings: See § 5.5.1.)

Check the MeanFC, MaxFC and MinFC values for each measurement. These values should remain stable from measurement to measurement, I.e: their variation should stay < 5.

A complete list of measurement values from all pin pairs is offered in the PRESENT panel of the instrument. Use the <PRESENT> button in the MAIN or PRESENT panel to view this information!

5.2 Reporting / Operational Hazards

The FSM-IT measurement system does not affect the integrity of the measurement object. No penetration of the structures is performed.

In EX-zones, a hot work permit is needed to take measurements.

5.3 Qualification Requirements and Training Program for Operators

5.3.1 Operator qualifications

There are two levels of operator qualifications:

Level Description 1 Operation at already operative measurement locations. Battery charging. Battery replacement.

2 Operation at new (non-operative) measurement locations.

At level 1, any mechanic strictly following the instructions given in this user manual, can perform installation of equipment and take measurements.

At level 2, only specially trained personnel certified by Roxar can perform installation of equipment

5.4 Instrument Unit Menus – Screen Panels

General information: The instrument unit contains an LCD screen, capable of showing several graphical panels. On top of the LCD there is a touch panel capable of sensing the position of a pressed fingertip. In order to activate a function, a press must be directed to the area inside of the respective button. E.g: press inside the <STATUS> button when you want to display instrument status information. The detection of a button press is shown by a momentary color inversion of the button area.

NOTE! Do not move your finger while a button is selected (inverted), as this will corrupt recognition of your button press!

Buttons displayed with a small triangular icon (4) below their label always cause a transition to a sub-panel. Buttons without this triangular icon immediately perform the action described by their label.

The present instrument SW (ver. 2.01) is equipped with 10 different panels. One panel always covers the top two lines of the LCD screen.

Sub-Panels: The following chapters describe the various sub-panels and button actions:

5.4.1 Measurement panel

Figure 5.3: Measurement Panel

The measurement panel contains five buttons. The actions obtained by pressing any one of them are described below.

5.4.1.1 MEASURE All FSM-IT measurements are taken at the tag and site that are identified in the TOP panel. The measurements are performed according to defined tag set-up parameters.

While a measurement is taken, the text: 'Measurement in progress, please wait' is displayed on screen. When more than one reading pr measurement is selected, information on the number of remaining readings is updated and displayed. The touch panel is disabled during this period.

After a measurement is finished, the data is appended to a dedicated measurement data file. There is one dedicated data file (*.dat) pr tag.

A measurement summary containing three parameters is shown on screen: Mean ppt value: A statistical mean value of all the pair readings (compared to signature). No

corrosion (change) will be shown as 0 (zero). Max ppt value: A statistical maximum value of all the pair readings (compared to signature)

including information on the localization of the maximum value. E.g: 1.05 (1.5) à maximum ppt value 1.05 is found at SMI # 1, pair # 5 Min ppt value: A statistical minimum value of all the pair readings (compared to signature). A normal situation example: After a signature measurement plus one ordinary measurement is taken on a new tag, the summary may be as below:

MeanFC: 0.13 MaxFC: 0.87 (1.7) MinFC: -1.05

Page 19: F641-16959-I-MU-0020.03 FSM-IT Instrument User Manual

Roxar ASA Document title: FSM-IT User Manual Rev.: 03 Roxar doc. No.: 641- 16959 - I - MU - 0020 Page: 19 of 31 Client doc. No.: Date: 2008-12-03

An example of a summary that calls for further analysis by MultiTrend: This result may be caused by corrosion or uncompensated temperature effects. I.e: Data needs a further check by MultiTrend!

MeanFC: 20.23 MaxFC: 21.40 (1.7) MinFC: 19.70

A non-signature example: If no signature reading has been taken, the following measurement summary may be expected:

MeanFC: -1000.00 MaxFC: -1000.00 (1.1) MinFC: -1000.00

A complete list of all pin pair values may be obtained by pressing the <PRESENT> button, cf: § 5.4.1.2

5.4.1.2 PRESENT The data presentation sub-panel is activated and displayed.

Figure 5.4: Presentation Panel

A complete list of all pin pair values from the most recent measurement is displayed. The pairs defined for the measurement SMI display both their 'raw-value' and FC-value. The 'raw-value' is the actual pin pair voltage expressed in µV (micro volts). The reference SMI displays, naturally, just the 'raw' µV-values. An FC-value is a relative figure; i.e. a change in pin pair voltage compared to the signature reading. This change is presented as a ‰ (ppt) value. When the measurement consists of a series of several readings (cf: <AVG NUM> button, § 5.4.1.3), a 'quality factor' value for each pair is included.

Page 20: F641-16959-I-MU-0020.03 FSM-IT Instrument User Manual

Roxar ASA Document title: FSM-IT User Manual Rev.: 03 Roxar doc. No.: 641- 16959 - I - MU - 0020 Page: 20 of 31 Client doc. No.: Date: 2008-12-03

Example: pair raw_value FC_value 01 +158.36 +0.22 02 –158.23 +0.19 03 +157.97 +0.01 04 –158.40 –0.15 . . . . . . . . . ref01 +158.02 ref02 –158.03 ref03 +158.02 ref04 –158.03 . . . . . . As the number of pin pairs varies between matrices (tags), the presentation panel is equipped with a <NEXT> and a <PREVIOUS> button to allow a means of scrolling through all measurement data. The total data list may easily contain more data than can be fitted onto a single page. In such cases, the first page will contain data from the first 16 pin pairs. To view data from subsequent pairs, the <NEXT> button must be pressed. In cases with large matrices (many pairs), it will be necessary to press the <NEXT> button several times to obtain a complete data list. At the end of the pairs list, the reference pair values are always displayed. The <PREVIOUS> button is obviously present to allow the user to scroll back through pin pairs.

The presentation panel is equipped with a <RETURN> button. By pressing this button, the user is transferred back to the previous panel, (here: the measurement panel)

5.4.1.3 AVG NUM

The measurement averaging panel displays 4 numerical buttons plus a <RETURN> button. By pressing any of the numerical buttons (1, 3, 5 or 9 readings), the user manually selects how many readings will be included in any of the measurements. The instrument will average the selected number of readings and present the measurement with a 'quality factor' for each pin pair on the PRESENT panel. This 'quality factor' consists of a standard deviation value calculated from the separate readings less the two 'worst-case' values, (outliers). A press on the <RETURN> button confirms the selection of an averaging number and returns to the previous MEASURE panel. All operative sites have a default value for averaging stored as a part of their site configuration file. Thus, in most cases, the default value needs no changing. The default value may be displayed simply by pressing the <RETURN> button directly upon panel appearance, without touching any of the numerical buttons.

5.4.1.4 ADVANCED

The advanced measurement sub-panel is activated and displayed.

This section contains detailed procedures for routine inspection, periodic maintenance, corrections and minor repair with recommended spare parts, consumables, reporting requirements, relevant document references and, if applicable, requirements for special skills and minimum crew.

6.1 Maintenance instructions

6.1.1 Routine inspection

This part of the maintenance instructions consists of the regular inspections carried out by the operator and / or maintenance personnel. The inspections consist of what can be measured, seen, heard or felt without interference in the equipment both during operation and while standstill.

6.1.1.1 INSTRUMENT UNIT

Before Inspection: Switch ON instrument and check its battery voltages:

• Instrument battery should read ~ 8.0 V. • Excitation battery should read ~ 2.2 V.

Lower battery voltages will reduce the number of measurements that can be taken before a battery charge is needed.

No error messages should be displayed when the instrument is switched ON.

6.1.2 Periodic maintenance

6.1.2.1 INSTRUMENT UNIT

Service interval: 5 years3. The internal backup battery should be changed within 5 years. The instrument clock and calendar will be affected when the internal backup battery is changed.

6.1.2.2 CHARGER

No periodic maintenance is applicable.

6.1.2.3 BATTERY PACK

The battery pack lifetime is estimated to 2 years. If the number of obtainable measurements during one battery charge decreases considerably, a replacement of the battery pack should be considered.

3 The instrument units in the production range from p/n: 18200-001 to p/n: 18200-019 (a prototype

series) will need more frequent service.
