Abstract:
A sensor carrier module for use in a pipeline pig may include a plurality of skids arranged about an axis of the sensor carrier module, and a flexible section. Each skid typically includes an upstream end, a downstream end, and at least one sensor between the upstream end and the downstream end. Each sensor may be configured to sense a parameter of a wall of a pipeline. The flexible section may be attached to the downstream ends of the skids and to a flange. The flexible section may include wheels configured to roll along the interior surface of the pipeline as the sensor carrier module passes through the pipeline, and a force system to apply a radial force that urges the wheels to interface with the interior surface of the pipeline.

Claim (Index 33):
A pipeline pig, comprising:\n at least one sensor carrier module comprising\n a flange having a leading end and a trailing end, \n a radially-expandable flexible cone section coupled at an upstream end to the trailing end of the flange, the flexible cone section including at least one non-rotational guide configured to contact and reduce friction with an interior surface of a pipeline wall, \n a plurality of skids coupled at an upstream end to a trailing end of the flexible cone section, each of the plurality of skids having a plurality of sensors mounted thereon and configured to sense a parameter of a wall of a pipeline, and a cone section coupled between the flange and the plurality of the skids, and \n a force system coupled to the cone section and configured to apply a radial force that urges the at least one non-rotational guide of the cone section to interface with the interior surface of the pipeline.
