Title: A method of assessing the condition of a tubular member
Inventor: CRAIG NELSON
IPC: G01M3/28
Filed: 2016-08-17
Abstract: In a method of assessing the condition of a tubular member, for example a flexible riser, an inert fluid is flowed from a fluid source through a conduit connected to a laminar flow device, which can determine volumetric and/or mass flow rate of the fluid.
