ABSTRACT:
A tapered plug gauge is disclosed for making graduated determinations of the inside diameter of a pipe, permitting rapid and effective determination of those pipe lengths which are oversize. The invention has particular utility for certain applications such as in the setting of oil field production casing. Pipe diameter is determined by insertion of a gauge into the pin end of a length of pipe, the outside diameter being noted by the depth of penetration, as indicated by a referenced circumscribed ring on the frustoconical surface of the device, the reference scribe being correlated by calculation assuming a pipe thickness which relates the measurement to the outside diameter to determine whether the pipe is oversize, and accordingly, the suitability of the particular pipe segment for use. The invention can be constructed in a plurality of sizes to correspond with pipe diameters and thicknesses standard in the petroleum industry.
