Abstract
A sea hose load analyzer system is disclosed. The sea hose load analyzer system also includes a transceiver interface. The sea hose load analyzer system also includes a memory storage. The sea hose load analyzer system also includes circuitry may include one or more processors configured to: receive load information of one or more sea hoses as node unit data via the transceiver interface, store the load information in the memory storage, and monitor additional node unit data via the transceiver interface.
Claims16
A sea hose load analyzer system, the system comprising:
- a transceiver interface;
- a memory storage;
- circuitry comprising one or more processors configured to:
- receive load information of one or more sea hoses as node unit data via the transceiver interface;
- receive strain measurements for a plurality of sea hose nodes;
- determine hose pressure based on the strain measurements;
- receive location information for the plurality of sea hose nodes;
- store the load information in the memory storage;
- monitor additional node unit data via the transceiver interface;
- and
- compare the hose pressure and the strain measurements with allowable tolerances.
A method of analyzing load information, the method comprising:
- generating node unit data that includes load information for one or more sea hoses, the node unit data comprising strain measurements, locations measurements, and hose pressure;
- determining hose movement based on the node unit data;
- having one or more floating hoses and subsea hoses;
- transmitting the node unit data over a network;
- receiving the node unit data at an analyzer;
- comparing the load information with an operational load envelope by the analyzer;
- and
- generating an alarm based on the load information exceeding one or more thresholds of the operational load envelope.
