BENCHMARKING CD47-C USER GUIDE OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW: BENCHMARKING

What is Time-Based Benchmarking?

The CD47-C me-based benchmarking system is designed for use with
all types of intelligent inline inspec on pipeline tools (also referred to
as “smart pigs”). These tools are pushed through the pipeline by fluid
or gas movement and use various means of logging both internal wall
corrosion and external wall corrosion. The pigs themselves generally
have a means of measuring how far into the pipeline a spot of corrosion
might be. Most o en this is a set of odometer wheels that make contact
with the pipe wall and give the computers a signal every me the pig
has traveled a frac on of an inch*–just as an automo ve odometer is
incremented by re revolu ons. In this way the pig can count how far
it has moved into the pipeline and know where the corrosion is when it
sees it.

ODOMETER WHEELS

Unfortunately there are factors that can throw off these measurements;

for example, the odometer wheels can slip as they roll along the pipe
wall. This error accumulates, so if an odometer wheel slips only 0.1%
every mile, at the end of a short 25 mile [40 km] pig run, the pig will be
off by 132 feet [40 m]. 132 feet in a 25 mile pig run is an unacceptable
amount of error, because the intelligent pig’s data is responsible for
telling a pipeline operator where to dig and repair the corrosion.
Obviously, a pipeline operator would not wish to dig up hundreds of
feet of pipeline to repair a small patch of corrosion. He needs to know
right where that corrosion is, especially if his pipeline is running through
a city, airport, railroad yard, etc.

* 0.1 inch [2.53 mm] most inspec on tools

Page 7 of 60
OVERVIEW CD47-C USER GUIDE BENCHMARKING

A Par al Solu on

There are other ways of knowing where the pig is within the pipeline
when it spies a defect. O en, pipelines will have valves, tees, etc. that
are easily recorded by an intelligent pig and recognized by a data analyst.
As the pipeline operator knows where these items are, he can correct
for odometer wheel slippage when he sees the data. These are called
“benchmarking sites”. For instance, he may see corrosion that the pig
believes is at mile 10.0 [16 km] past a valve. If the operator knows where
the valve is (perhaps at mile 10.2), he really only needs to know precisely
how far past the valve the corrosion is.

So if the pig has recorded corrosion as 100 feet [30.48 m] past the
valve, even with a 0.1% wheel slippage error, the pig data is accurate to
within approximately one inch [25 mm], easily close enough for digging
purposes.

However, there are pipelines where the distances between valves, tees,
and other types of integral benchmarking points can be many miles,
and where the corrosion is not near a benchmarking site, more error
can accumulate. In such a situa on it would be quite convenient if an
operator could add “external” benchmarks of his own to compensate for
these distance errors.

The CD47 Solu on

The CD47-C Above Ground Marker (AGM) does precisely that–enable an

operator to place benchmarking sites anywhere along a pipeline.
For example; suppose AGM units are posi oned one every mile along a
pipeline. Assuming a 0.1% wheel slippage error, a pig loca on cannot be
off more than approx 2.5 [.75 m] feet at any point in the pipeline. And
if even higher accuracy is desired, it is a simple ma er of placing more
units along the pipeline.

Page 8 of 60
BENCHMARKING CD47-C USER GUIDE OVERVIEW

How it works

Rather than mechanical wheels (which as pointed out, are prone to

slippage) the CD47-C system uses extremely accurate mekeeping to
assist in loca ng pipeline flaws.

Pigging operators or pipeline operators place benchmarking units on

the surface, outside the pipeline, as o en as they choose. The units
are placed in known loca ons along the pipeline so that they can be
accurately referred to at a later me.

Each unit can obtain essen ally flawless me from the Global
Posi oning System (GPS).* The pig has its own onboard clock which
is synchronized to the GPS satellite clocks via the CD47-C. Therefore,
mekeeping of the pig and CD47-C units are all synchronized. In effect,
the pig and the AGM units all share one “Master Clock” in the sky (i.e.,
the GPS system).

As the pig moves through the pipeline and records data, it stamps
that data with the me that it was recorded, as well as the distance
measured by the pig’s odometer wheels. As it moves through the
pipeline, the pig’s magne zer or on-board CDI electromagne c
transmi er (see pgs. 12-13) is detected by the benchmarking units on
the surface. At the moment of passage the benchmarking units receive
and record the current GPS me.

At the end of the pig’s run, the benchmarking units–each with its own
precise passage me and posi on– are collected from the field. These
passage mes are then correlated to the mestamps of the corrosion
data in the pig, and this has the result of crea ng benchmarking points
wherever the CD47B units were located, as frequently as necessary.

* The Global Posi oning System is a 13 billion dollar system of 24 satellites created
by the Department of Defense and maintained by the Air Force and Coast Guard. Its
primary purpose is to supply accurate posi on informa on to people anywhere in the
world, but it also supplies incredibly accurate me that is inherently synchronized.

MagneƟc Flux Leakage (MFL) Pigs

Magne c Flux Leakage is a form of nondestruc ve inline inspec on that

detects corrosion, pi ng, missing metal, cracks, and/or other defects in
steel pipelines.

An MFL “smart pig” such as shown here is a common inline inspec on

tool:

MAGNETIC POLES DETECTOR MAGNETIC POLES

ODOMETER WHEELS DATA RECORDER

As it travels through a pipeline, the magne c array magne zes the

steel. When defects are encountered, the magne c field "leaks" from
the steel. This leakage field is sensed by the magne c detector.

Field intensity and defect loca ons are usually stored by the unit’s on-
board recorder.

Page 25 of 60
OPERATION CD47-C USER GUIDE RECORD MODE

The goal of this rou ne is to compensate for environmental noise, but

maintain sensi vity so that actual pig passages can be detected. If the
CD47-C is unable to accomplish this goal a warning message is displayed
on the LCD:

If the Magne c Environment rou ne fails, the CD47-C must be relocated

to a quieter loca on and restarted, or the excessive noise source must
be eliminated.

The task of compensa ng for the environment noise begins by se ng

the thresholds to ini al values, magne c threshold = 0 and transmi er
threshold = 10. Then a mer with an ini al se ng of 45 seconds begins
to count down. During the countdown, if a channel detects a false
trigger, its threshold is increased by 2 and the mer is reset back to 45
seconds. The rou ne has successfully completed when the thresholds
have been adjusted to minimize environmental noise and the mer has
counted down to zero.

To help speed up the rou ne and make it more efficient, the CD47-C
will only monitor the ac ve channels as set in the Menu System (see
pg. 23, set unit acƟve receive channels). If the RECORD mode is set for
both magne c and transmi er detec on, then both channels will have
their thresholds compensated for. Otherwise, only the ac ve channel,
magne c only or transmi er only will have its threshold adjusted for
when compensa ng for environmental noise. If me warrants, the
process can be bypassed by simultaneously pressing the RECORD
bu ons. If this is the first me that the compensa on rou ne has run,
bypassing will set the thresholds to magne c = 10 and transmi er =
30, otherwise the thresholds are set to the values obtained from the
previous me that the rou ne was able to run to comple on.

OPERATION CD47-C USER GUIDE RECORD MODE

Ignored Events

When a signal dura on is too BRIEF, the magne c disturbance is

considered to be possible noise and not an actual pig passage. This data
is saved in non-vola le memory as an Ignored Event.

If signal dura on is long enough but exceeds the limits of the signal-to-
noise ra o, the magne c disturbance is considered too NOISY and the
data is also saved as an Ignored Event

Typically, environmental noise is canceled out when the ac ve

channel(s) thresholds are set prior to entering the RECORD mode.
However, while wai ng for a pig passage to occur, environmental
condi ons and sources of noise can change, resul ng in false triggering.

Post GPS

When in the RECORD mode and Post GPS is enabled in the Menu System
(see pg. 22), the CD47-C will a empt to acquire new GPS informa on
a er a valid pig passage has been detected.

Page 32 of 60
RECORD MODE CD47-C USER GUIDE OPERATION

Post GPS (cont.)

Though obtaining a Post GPS a er every passage is not absolutely

necessary, under certain circumstances it can enhance the me
calcula ons during data analysis. There is a minute amount of dri to
the CD47-C internal clock, which can accumulate between long intervals
of GPS acquisi ons. When the CD47-C acquires new GPS informa on, it
resets its internal clock, thus minimizing any possible dri .

BYPASS BUTTONS = WHEN BOTH ARE PRESSED,

POST GPS ACQUISITION ROUTINE IS BYPASSED
(CD47-C PERFORMS AS IF POST GPS DISABLED,
NO PASSAGE DATA LOST)

You can bypass a Post GPS rou ne at your discre on by simultaneously

pressing the BYPASS bu ons. Bypassing the rou ne can be helpful if
me is of the essence and the unit needs to be placed in the SUSPEND
mode (see next sec on,pg. 34) and moved to a new loca on. When
the rou ne is bypassed, the CD47-C performs as if Post GPS was not
enabled and no passage data is lost.

Page 33 of 60
OPERATION CD47-C USER GUIDE SUSPEND MODE

SUSPEND MODE

The CD47-C can safely be moved to another loca on when in the

SUSPEND mode. Although s ll present, detected signals from the ac ve
channel(s) are ignored, preven ng any addi onal data being stored to
memory.

The SUSPEND mode can even be accessed while the CD47-C is analyzing
a magne c disturbance.

This can be helpful, if the operator inadvertently creates a false

disturbance while trying to place the unit into the SUSPEND mode or if
the unit is accidentally moved before being placed in suspend. To enter
the SUSPEND mode, press both PAUSE bu ons.

When the CD47-C is in the SUSPEND mode, the LCD display will
sequence through a series of two screens every five seconds. The first
screen informs the user that passage detec ons are suspended and the
CD47-C can be moved without genera ng false triggers. The second
screen instructs the user to press the RECORD bu ons simultaneously to
resume recording pig passages.

Both SUSPEND mode screens contain, if present, the me and date of

the last pig passage that was detected by the unit. As an addi onal visual
aide to the user, a SUSPEND mode LED, bo om right, will toggle on and
off every me a screen is advanced.

SUSPEND MODE CD47-C USER GUIDE OPERATION

Downloading CD47-C data while in the Suspend Mode

The CD47-C will allow for data downloads to CDI Marker so ware only
when the unit is in either the STARTUP mode or the SUSPEND mode.
(When the CD47-C is in the RECORD mode, its sole task is to detect pig
passages.)

The CD47-C can be configured to download data from its non-vola le

memory using either serial download cable or internal Bluetooth
transmi er (see pg. 24).

SERIAL PORT SERIAL CABLE

Synchronizing to GPS me while in the Suspend Mode

The CD47-C can synchronize external devices–such as a pc, laptop, tools,

etc.–to its acquired GPS me. The CD47-C will automa cally perform
this opera on via the serial download cable, but only if the acquired
GPS me is less than one hour old. This one hour restric on ensures the
accuracy of the GPS me. A newer GPS me can be acquired by either
restar ng the unit and acquiring a new ini al GPS me or by selec ng

LINESTAT SYSTEM INSTALLATION, SETUP, & OPERATION

LineStat Global Satellite-based Event No fica on Radio Service

autonomously monitors pig passages and sends remote no fica ons as
emails or text messages.

LineStat uses a global Low Earth Orbit network to alert customers of pig
passages. Included in the alert message are the GPS coordinates of the
pig passage and a link to Google Maps.

The satellite radio is tethered to the CD47C- via an interface cable and
the radio must have visible access to the sky in order to successfully
broadcast its message.

The satellite radio is powered by four 1.5V AA lithium ba eries, which

can power the unit for three plus years, based on two messages per day.
The default configura on of the radio is set to send three messages:
Asset Ac ve (radio powered ON), Pig Detected, and Replace Ba eries.

LineStat requires no cellular telephone network, and func ons

anywhere in the world. Retrofi ng your CD47-C requires only a
subscrip on to LineStat service (available through your CDI distributor),
and the CD47-C LineStat Satellite Kit (CDI item # 81-05-0076-00)

RS-232

The CD47-C serial cable (CDI part # 80-02-0064-00, supplied) uses a

standard RS-232 configura on for TX, RX, and Ground, plus an addi onal
Pulse per Second (PPS) signal from the GPS module on pin 9 of the DB9.
The serial interface is configured for 9600, 8, E, 1. The protocol used
to request and receive the GPS me and date packets is described in
the CDI document “RequesƟng the GPS Ɵme from a CD47,” which is
available from CDI upon request.

Communica ons with the CD47 should be established on an RS-232 serial cable
at 9,600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and Even Parity (9600,E,8,1). The CD47
reverses pins 2 and 3 of the connector internally thus it is not necessary to use
