Abstract
A system for monitoring tubing during feeding into a conduit includes a collar, a plurality of sensors, and a computer system. The collar is positioned around the tubing. The sensors include ultrasonic transducers and fingers oriented radially inward from the collar. The computer system is configured to measure the outer dimensions and thickness of the tubing using the fingers and ultrasonic transducers respectively as well as trigger alerts based off of the measurements of thickness and outer dimensions of the tubing. The system for monitoring tubing further includes a tubing feed system. The tubing feed system includes tubing, an injector head, and conduit. The injector head feeds the tubing into the conduit under control of the computer.
