Systems, methods, and devices for perforating louver perforations into a pipe are contemplated. Systems, methods, and devices for transporting pipes for perforation are contemplated. Systems, methods, and devices for performing quality control inspections of such perforations contemplated. A pipe may be oriented vertically and raised over a device that punches perforations into the pipe from the inside of the pipe toward the outside of the pipe. Various supports may contact the pipe for stabilization and to facilitate the formation of perforations without removing cut away pieces from the pipe. Electronic monitoring of the features of the pipe facilitate quality control inspection during processing. In this manner, a structurally robust pipe having a series of louver perforations along the pipe may be formed.
A method of sizing a perforation formed by a louver perforation system having a first perforator head supported by a mandrel inside a pipe to be perforated, a first perforator blade attached to the first perforator head to penetrate through the pipe as the first perforator head extends from the mandrel in a first direction, and a first perforator reaction shoe outside the pipe, the method comprising:
A method of sizing a first perforation and a second perforation formed by a louver perforation system having (i) a first perforator head and a second perforator head, both supported by a mandrel inside a pipe to be perforated and (ii) a first perforator blade attached to the first perforator head to penetrate through the pipe as the first perforator head extends from the mandrel in a first direction and (iii) a second perforator blade attached to the second perforator head to penetrate through the pipe as the second perforator head extends from the mandrel in a second direction, the method comprising:
