New optical measurement approach for crushing tests of flow lines internal layers is detailed, based on an accurate tracking of the deformed carcass section through image processing. The results are compared to those from standard procedures based on discrete measurements using calipers. The new approach shows to be not only appropriate for the standard measurement requirements but also enables a comprehensive understanding of the crushing behavior.
