Abstract
A method for capturing a tensile force exerted during the pulling of a pipe or line during installation, includes capturing a strain on the pipe or line via one or more sensors arranged on the pipe or line. Multiple strain sensors may be arranged such that they are offset at various angles across the circumference of the element being installed. One or more sensors may be mounted to a towing head for pulling the pipe or the line during installation.
Claims9
A method for detecting a tensile force exerted while pulling a pipe or a line during installation, characterized in that the strain on the pipe or the line is detected via one or more sensors arranged on the pipe or the line.
A device for detecting a tensile force exerted while pulling a pipe or a line during installation, wherein the device includes a sensor for detecting the strain, characterized in that the sensor is connected to a towing head of a pulling device, the strain sensor is connected to a recording device, and/or the sensor is connected to allow for the wireless communication of signals.
