Ultrasound Tool Can Combine Metal Loss And Crack Inspection Of Gas Pipelines

摘要

A new ultrasound inline inspection tool is available that can inspect pipelines for metal loss and cracks in one run. The tool is based on a special configuration of the modular LineExplorer® range of intelligent pigs using ultrasound technology.rnMajor advantages are increased efficiency in pipeline preparation, cleaning and operations during the inspection run.rnAnother major added value to customers is enhanced data quality, based on the optimized correlation of metal loss and crack inspection measurements. The data obtained is suited for advanced integrity assessment and defect growth analysis.
