Abstract
A tracking system is developed which is designed for detection of weld reinforcement bead on a rotating pipe and controlling the polymer dosing at deposition of an anticorrosion polymer coating on the outer surface of welded pipes. System introduction will allow an essential improvement of uniformity of thickness of anticorrosion coating on pipes.
