Abstract

See full text

A tool for determining variations in outer diameter of a pipe. The tool may have a pair of contact arms configured for engaging with opposing sides of a pipe. The contact arms may be biased toward one another, and at least one of the arms may be configured to slide toward and away from the other. As the contact arms are moved along an outer surface of a pipe, a distance between the arms may change in response to variations in outer diameter of the pipe. A plunger gauge may be arranged on one of the contact arms with its plunger directed toward the other arm. The plunger may extend or depress in response to a decreased or increased distance between the contact arms. An alignment shoe may align the contact arms with at least X and Z axes of the pipe so as to help ensure accurate pipe measurements.
