In response to requests from several pipeline contractors and pipeline companies, Stress Engineering Services, Inc. developed the Pipeline Identification System (PIDS). The motivation for this development is that multiple pipelines often exist in a single area. In many situations the pipelines are not tagged or identified and confusion exists in terms of what pipeline belong to what company.

The SES PIDS permits identification of a pipeline using our strain-based pipeline strap and data acquiistion system. The following steps briefly describe the major elements of the system and how it is used in the field.

	STEP #1 After identifying the location of the pipelines, excavate with a back-hoe or other type of equipment.

	STEP #2 Clear out the soil around the pipe and clean the pipe surfaces for installing the Pipeline Identification System equipment.

	STEP #3 Install the Pipeline Identification System equipment on the candidate pipelines once they have been properly cleaned.

	STEP #4 Make sure the PIDS straps and other equipment are tight to ensure that accurate measurements are taken.

	STEP #5 Calibrate instrumentation and prepare to start taking data. Display results to show pipeline company which pipeline is theirs.

	STEP #6 Change pressure in pipeline. Collect and record data to identify the pipeline in question. Print plots showing data results.

Contact SES to find out more about our powerful PIDS and how it can be used to help identify your pipelines.
