A Newly Developed Self-Contained Inclinometer for Offshore Platform Anchor Monitoring

Abstract:

This paper presents the research and development of a special self-contained Inclinometer based on the requirement of offshore platform monitoring. The device records the anchors inclination completely and accurately, providing information for stress analysis of the anchor chain. Laboratory calibration, platform movement simulation experiment, and real platform testing confirmed the instrument can meet the measurement requirements. The instrument is high-precision, energy-economical, mass-storage and user-friendly. Its able to work underwater continuously for up to one year. In addition, the small size minimizes the interference caused by the carriers motion. Compared with its foreign counterparts, the new instrument is inexpensive, so its suitable for extensive multi-point measurement. Now it has been installed in LH11-1 platform in the South China Sea for measurement of anchor chain inclination. Its the first time to employ measuring device with autonomous right in offshore platform monitoring in China.
