Measure object on pipe wall
This function allows you to determine and measure objects located on the pipe wall. A virtual measuring grid is projected optically on the pipe
wall for this. You can then determine the dimensions of objects on the pipe wall via the spacing of the measuring grid. The measuring grid must
be positioned fully over the pipe wall object for the measurements. Examples of these measurements are the dimension determinations of longi-
tudinal cracks or depressions on the pipe wall.
PIPE-WALL OBJECT:
Grid Unit: 5.00mm
Distance: 3.46mm
Rotation: 188.00°
Length: 15.00mm
Arc Length: 15.00mm

• Use the left joystick (vertical deflection) to determine measuring lines 1, i.e. the length of the grid unit in the direction of the pipe axis.
• Use the left joystick (horizontal deflection) to determine measuring lines 2, i.e. the length of the grid unit on the pipe circumference.
• Use the right joystick (vertical deflection) or the L1/R1 buttons to move the grid unit on the pipe axis.
• Use the right joystick (horizontal deflection) or the L2/R2 buttons to move the grid unit on the pipe circumference.
• Scale the grid unit using the L3/R3 buttons.
NOTE!
You can determine the exact dimensions of the deformation or the damage point via the projected grid unit. You can read or convert
the values using the scale shown in the display.
REAL PIPE:
Diameter: 150.00mm
Length: 105.50mm
Rotation: 2.80°
PIPE WALL OBJECT:
Grid Unit: 5.00mm
Distance: 3.46mm
Rotation: 188.00°
Length: 15.00mm
Arc length: 15.00mm
Sample calculation:
Object width = 3 grid units
i.e. 3 units x 5mm
Result:
Object width = 15mm
