Innospection

Pipe Scanning

Advanced pipeline inspection with the SLOFEC' technique is a fast and low preparation inspection solution with a high sensitivity in the detection of general corrosion and wall thickness pipes up to 30mm. With pipe scanning tools suitable for pipes with 1' diameter onwards, painted and coated pipes can be inspected over a wide range of temperatures. The immediate generated colour mapping reporting represents the detected defects in size and wall loss.

The aims of pipe inspection are:

Identification of corrosion areas
Determination of pipe integrity
Following the required authority's health and safety requirements
Verification of previous inspection results

Innospection's SLOFEC' technique for pipe inspection offers the following advantages:

Fast screening of large areas within a short time
Low surface preparations and limited cleaning prior to inspection
High sensitivity in detecting internal and external corrosional defects ((individual pitting, microbiological corrosion, carbon dioxide corrosion, etc)
Inspection over a wide range of wall thicknesses
Inspection through different coatings and cladding types
Inspection over a wide range of temperatures
Differentiation of the different defect positions or other occurrences
Provision of reliable, accurate and repeatable results

Innospection's pipe inspection capabilities for both on- and offshore applications using the SLOFEC' technique are:

Experienced with pipe diameter ranging from 1' to 56'
Experienced with pipe wall thickness up to 30mm
Experienced with coating thickness up to 7mm
Experienced with pipe temperatures up to 170 deg C
Able to inspect horizontal and vertical pipes both internally and externally
Able to inspect different pipe materials (carbon steel, stainless steel, duplex, super duplex, monel, etc)
Able to provide online 'Real Time' inspection analysis including wall loss severity classifications
Separate reporting available for both internal and external conditions with advanced colour defect mapping capability
Defect assessment, integrity and monitoring support
