The invention relates to a method for coating cavity walls, in particular cylinder bores of engine blocks. In the method, a coating is applied to a cavity wall using a coating lance. In addition, a cavity diameter is measured using a measuring apparatus. According to the invention, the method is characterized in that at least a plurality of diameter values of a first cavity are measured at different heights of the first cavity using the measuring apparatus, and in that a coating of variable thickness is applied to a wall of the first or a second cavity using the coaling lance, the thickness of said coating of variable thickness being dependent on the determined diameter values. The invention additionally describes a corresponding coating system.

Provided herein is a method for inspecting for a workpiece (100), the workpiece (100) comprising a slot (110) with a proximal end (P) and a distal end (D), the method comprising: receiving a dimensional model (210) of at least part of the workpiece comprising at least part of the slot (110) measured with a dimensional measurement device (300); determining a burnish region (220) of the slot (110) that is a continuous region having an essentially constant profile from the dimensional model (210); wherein the burnish region is determined by subdividing an inner mantle (214) into a plurality of slices (216) and generating and fitting a plane geometric shape (218a to 218e) to each of the respective slices (216a to 216e).

Methods and systems for evaluating integrity of a tubular located within a wellbore are provided. The method includes measuring an operation parameter of the wellbore, measuring a feature of the tubular two or more times to produce an integrity log each time the feature is measured, and determining a tubular integrity analysis for the tubular by using the integrity logs and the operation parameter. The tubular integrity analysis contains parameter limitations for the tubular. The method also includes determining if tubular integrity is within or outside the parameter limitations. If the tubular integrity is within the parameter limitations, then determine a duration of integrity for the tubular. If the tubular integrity is outside of the parameter limitations, then determine a location on the tubular for loss of tubular integrity.
