Abstract

“VKO “Simvol” designs and produces marking equipment, reading equipment and traceability software. Fluorescent dot-peen marking (FDMP) is an improved version of dot peen marking (DPM) technology. In FDPM technology information dots are filled with special material – fluorescent composition. Various fluorescent compositions provide high stability of marking in different aggressive media, such as moisture, salt and acid solutions, oils, lubricants or high temperatures. 2D barcode Data Matrix makes the marking machine readable, even if some of the dots are damaged.

Highlights

  • Oil steel pipes pass many operations and technological processes during their lifetime transportation, storage, working in the aggressive media, repair, and disposal

  • The surface of a marked product and its optical properties have minimal influence on fluorescent dot peen marking (FDPM) reading, and. This allows to reduce the influence of marked surface brightness, its curvilinear profile, the color of the coatings, rust, roughness during reading FDPM

  • The requirements for resistance to aggressive media must be applied for FDPM

Summary

Introduction

Oil steel pipes (further – pipes) pass many operations and technological processes during their lifetime transportation, storage, working in the aggressive media, repair, and disposal. Manufacturer marking for oil and gas pipes contains product description and all the information for pipes identification. This marking serves to the pipe manufacturer’s purposes only, while oil and gas companies needs stay unsatisfied in case of the information loss. Pipe traceability provision has a number of features related to the marking’s sustainability to various types of mechanic, climate and chemical or media impacts during manufacture, transportation, storage, operation and repair. There is need for modern methods of marking that are resistant to aggressive environment [1]. The aim of this study to ability to survive fluorescent dot peen marking (FDPM) the severe tests, modelling the conditions of oil and gas industry
