Identification system for tubulars

A system for identifying a tubular, the system comprising:

• a first measurement tool configured to measure an inner diameter (ID) of a tubular at least at a plurality of points along an inner circumference of the tubular, at a predetermined axial distance from an end of the tubular, to yield a first set of measurements;
• and
• one or more hardware processors in communication with the first measurement tool and configured to:
• create a tubular profile from the first set of measurements, wherein the tubular profile represents a unique identification code of the tubular;
• save the tubular profile;
• and
• thereafter identify the tubular via:
• receiving a second set of measurements of the ID of the tubular from at least at a plurality of points along an inner circumference of the tubular, at the predetermined axial distance from the end of the tubular;
• and
• comparing the second set of measurements with the first set of measurements in the saved tubular profile to identify the tubular.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a computer processor, the instructions comprising functionality for:

• receiving a first set of measurements of an inner diameter (ID) of a tubular from at least at a plurality of points along an inner circumference of the tubular, at a predetermined axial distance from an end of the tubular;
• creating a tubular profile from the first set of measurements, wherein the tubular profile represents a unique identification code of the tubular;
• saving the tubular profile;
• and
• thereafter identifying the tubular via:
• receiving a second set of measurements of the ID of the tubular from at least at a plurality of points along an inner circumference of the tubular, at the predetermined axial distance from the end of the tubular;
• and
• comparing the second set of measurements with the saved tubular profile to identify the tubular.
