Reliable Sizing and Monitoring of Shallow Internal Corrosion in Pipelines using Eddy Current Technology

摘要

Corrosion affecting the inside of pipelines constitutes a major risk for pipeline integrity. To optimize the process of monitoring shallow internal corrosion (SIC), ROSEN has developed the new SIC tool incorporating eddy current (EC) technology. Capable of accurately distinguishing and sizing even minor corrosion features, the new tool makes it easy to survey and assess the asset degradation process resulting from corrosion - even in so-called unpiggable pipelines.
