A data acquisition system for determining the state of a tubular while the tubular rotates about its cylindrical axis. The tubular remains otherwise substantially stationary. Sensors travel up and down the length of the rotating tubular, interrogating the inside and outside of the tubular for data regarding the tubular's state. Sensors may take samples which may be associated with rotational reference information tying the sample to its absolute position on the internal or external surface of the tubular. A data processor processes the samples and other sensor data to produce a wide array of output, including data signatures of the tubular, maps of contour data regarding the internal or external surface of the tubular, and dimensional data regarding the tubular. Data acquisition is advantageously done in real time, and may further be done concurrently with internal or external cleaning operations.

A device used for cutting a pipe from an inside. The device has a spindle arranged to be rotated. The device further has protrusions fastened to the spindle and arranged to position the device or a part of the device inside the pipe. The protrusions have at least one blade arranged to machine material off the inner surface of the pipe to cut the pipe while the spindle is being rotated.

A burr removal tool for preparing a pipe for soldering includes a cylinder that has a pair of wells each recessed into opposing ends of the cylinder for insertably receiving an end of a pipe. The cylinder has a plurality of first bristles each disposed within a respective one of the wells. The plurality of first bristles in a respective one of the wells scrubs the pipe when the pipe is inserted into the respective well for abrading burrs from the pipe. A pair of brushes is each coupled to and extends away from the cylinder thereby facilitating a respective one of the brushes to be inserted into the pipe for scrubbing inside of the pipe. Additionally, each of the brushes is perpendicularly oriented with the pair of wells in the cylinder.
