Abstract

Pipe thickness monitoring is a vital aspect in ensuring safety and efficiency of industrial operations. This article describes the application of a database storage system, for pipe thickness measurement results using an ultrasonic thickness gauge. Ultrasonic thickness gauges utilize ultrasonic sound waves to measure the thickness of various industrial materials quickly, accurately and consistently. In general, thickness measurements are taken from various sides of the pipe (Top, Bottom, East, West).  However, to inventory the measurement data, the operator still uses forms that are written manually.  It is expected that with the creation of a database system, the system can automatically identify the side with the thinnest thickness. In this study, thickness measurement data was taken from 126 measurement locations, with each location measured as many as 4 thickness points. The thickness measurement data for each location and thickness point are stored in the database, then the location of the measurement point with the lowest thickness value is identified.  The final result of the database system analysis produces a remaining service life report, which presents the percentage of the thinnest thickness compared to the predetermined design thickness. It can be seen that out of 126 TML, there are 21 (17%) points that have a thickness value at the time of measurement that is equal to the design thickness value. While there are 90 points (71%) that have a measurement thickness that is less than the design thickness value. As for the remaining percentage value, out of 126 TML there are 15 points (12%) that have a remaining value greater than 100%. There are 69 points (55%) that have a remaining percentage value ranging in the range between 85-99%. It can be concluded that the installation conditions need to be carried out with a higher measurement intensity. This is because the possibility of a shift in the increase in the remaining percentage value for the 85-99% range is getting bigger.
