Scar Rectifying Tool
Product/Service:
Scar Rectifying Tool
Year:
March 2019
Location:
Offshore / Norway
Project Description
IK Subsea engineered and manufactured a Scar Rectification tool to eliminate scars and alleviate stress concentrations resulting from an operational error during water jetting. There were concerns that sharp edges on the scars caused by the water jetting operations could impose stress concentration and potentially initiate crack growth, and in worse case a collapse of the structural member. By grinding the sharp edges, the stress concentration is significantly reduced to an acceptable level according to the applicable standards and norms.
The milling tool is tailored for diver operation, incorporating both manual and hydraulic functionality. The design integrates a combination of standard components and custom designed elements, ensuring seamless and secure milling operations.
