Abstract:
A method for non-intrusive pipeline testing involves constructing the pipeline at a construction location that is above ground, affixing an optical fiber along a surface of a length of the pipeline that is at the construction location, measuring dynamic strain experienced by the length of the pipeline by performing optical interferometry using the optical fiber, and moving the length of the pipeline from the construction location to a different installation location. The optical fiber includes at least one pair of fiber Bragg gratings (“FBGs”) tuned to reflect substantially identical wavelengths with a segment of the optical fiber extending between the FBGs.

Claim (Index 70):
The system of  claim 65 , wherein the additional clamping mechanism comprises:\n an additional bore formed in the at least one arm and terminating at the additional clamping surface, and an additional fastener extending through the additional bore and having an end portion forming the at least part of the additional clamping surface which is operable to extend towards the pipeline to increase the clamping force applied by the additional clamping surface.
