English term or phrase: stand off measurement
Bonsoir,

Il s'agit de mesures effectuées dans le cadre d'une inspection de pipeline à l'aide d'un dispositif racleur (pig) équipé d'émetteurs à ultrasons.

J'ai un graphique avec une courbe "stand off measurements" et une autre "wall thickness measurement"

Merci

mesure d'écart


Explanation:
"Écart" (espacement) could refer to the distance traveled before encountering the wall.

Oil drilling: "mesure de la distance annulaire"

Other translations for "standoff" could be "structure fonctionnelle" and "écarteur", "entretoise" (piece of wood or iron)

Notes to answerer
Asker: Merci Kevin, le sens est là mais on parlera plutôt de "mesures de distance à la paroi". C'est effectivement la mesure de la distance entre l'émetteur et la paroi intérieure de la canalisation.

Standoff missiles are missiles or bombs which may be launched at a distance sufficient to allow attacking personnel to evade defensive fire from the target area.

standoff

3. n. [Formation Evaluation]

A piece of material designed to hold a logging tool a certain distance away from the borehole wall. It is usually made of hard rubber and consists of four to six fins of the desired length.

standoff

2. n. [Formation Evaluation]

The distance between the external surface of a logging tool and the borehole wall. This distance has an important effect on the response of some logging measurements, notably induction and neutron porosity logs. For resistivity tools, the effect of standoff is taken into account in the borehole correction. In the neutron porosity tool, it is usually corrected for separately. In a smooth, regular hole, the standoff is constant and determined by the geometry of the logging tool string and the borehole. In rugose or irregular holes, standoff varies with depth.
