Abstract

Paper deals with inner pipe locomotion. In-pipe machines locomote inside pipe to make inspection, pipe repairmen or cable drawing into old pipes. Inner pipe wall deviations have significant influence to locomotion inside pipe. This is reason way it is necessary to identify of inner pipe wall deviations.

Keywords:
pipe locomotion deviation tolerances
