Electromagnetic transducer technology in-line inspections are sufficiently sensitive to detect crack-like features as part of pipeline integrity management. Gas and liquid pipeline operators are ...

In-Line Inspection Applications offers an in-depth look at the uses of in-line inspection, or error-proofing, in a production environment. Error-proofing uses individualized setups to inspect a part ...

Bottom line: NDT is the primary means to find, size, and monitor defects in pipelines without taking them out of service, enabling risk-based decisions that prevent leaks and ruptures. I.I Purpose — ...

Full-blown process excursions that affect every wafer are comparatively easy for fabs to detect and fix. However, “onesie-twosie,” lower-volume excursions can go unresolved for months or even years.

Pipeline integrity inspection verifies that gathering, transmission, flowline, and export pipelines can safely and reliably transport hydrocarbons at the intended operating envelope without loss of ...
