 Send this article
NDT Systems & Services, of Germany, has introduced an addition to its range of LineExplorer in-line inspection tools. The tools, incorporating a new generation of electronics, are available in crack, as well as metal loss, inspection configurations.
The new tools are the first to offer crack inspection capabilities for 6-inch and 8-inch pipelines. The new tools will be used commercially in both configurations during the third and fourth quarters of this year.
Ultrasonic in-line inspection tools provide unparalleled accuracy and sensitivity. The design of the tools ensures that the full circumference of the pipe wall is inspected, and the wall thickness of a pipeline can be measured accurately. Internal, external,
and mid-wall flaws and defects can be detected and sized uantitatively. |
