Pipeline Integrity
NDT Services provides a special range of integrity assessment services based on the use of data collected through in-line inspection tools.
Pipeline Inspection constitutes an essential part of an overall pipeline integrity and management process. The data provided by modern in-line inspection tools is critical for the integrity assessment of a given line. The tools deliver geometric information on the depth, length, width and location of anomalies and defects, which are subsequently used for:
| > |
Fitness for Purpose – is the inspected pipeline able to fulfill its function now? |
| > |
Future Integrity Assessment – will the pipeline be able to fulfill its function at a certain time in the future?
|
| > |
Run Comparisons – have any anomalies or defects present grown over time? |
|
|
The integrity services include:
|
