Thread parameters for a threaded object are determined. Spatial reference systems (X, Y, Z) and (X', Y&#x2032;, Z&#x2032;) are respectively identified for a position sensor and the threaded object. A transformation matrix describing a quadratic form representing the threaded object in (X, Y, Z) may be determined to relate the reference systems. For example, a sensor trajectory on the threaded object may be determined, along with measurement points on the threaded object. The measurement points may be selected so the matrix, evaluated on these values, has maximum rank. Position data at measurement points in the second reference system may be transformed into the first reference system, yielding first results. After coating the threaded object, position data at the measurement points may be acquired again and transformed into the first reference system, yielding second results. Comparisons between the first and second results may provide thickness of the coating and quality verification.

Systems and methods for measurement of geometrical parameters of threaded joints

A measurement method for thread parameters for a threaded object (), by means of a measurement device () defining a spatial reference system (X, Y, Z) incorporating an optical sensor () to retrieve the shape of the threaded object, and defining a spatial reference system (X', Y&#x2032;, Z&#x2032;), the measurement device () having a computer to assemble a first matrix that describes the quadratic form representing the threaded object in the spatial reference system (X, Y, Z), thus providing the relationship between the two spatial reference systems. The method comprises the steps of:
