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 21):
A pipeline pig, comprising:\n at least one sensor carrier module comprising a flange, a 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, the cone section including a force system configured to apply a radial force that urges at least one guide of the cone section to interface with an interior surface of the pipeline, the plurality of skids being coupled at only one end to the cone section and moving radially outward with the cone section such that a radial distance between the plurality of sensors and the interior surface of the pipeline is maintained.
