ART Scan™ inline inspectionA method used to assess the the integrity and condition of pipelines. It involves the use of specialized tools that are inserted into the pipeline and propelled… tools are optimized to inspect high-capacity heavy wall pipelines.

An inherent requirement of pipelines under extraordinary pressure is the need for thicker walls. This aspect of their construction makes getting accurate sub-millimeter measurements on metal lossRefers to the reduction in material thickness or cross-sectional area of a pipe due to corrosion, erosion, or other forms of degradation. , manufacturing anomalies, and wall thickness a challenge with traditional ILI tools.

Our solution was to develop acoustic resonance technologyAn inspection technology that utilizes sound waves or acoustic signals to detect, monitor, and analyze the condition of pipelines. ART involves the application … and deploy an inspectionThe systematic process of visually examining, testing, or monitoring pipeline components to assess their condition, integrity, and compliance with regulatory re… solution (ART Scan) that could address the unique challenges presented by high-pressure gas transmissions pipelines. The result is a tool that can produce inspections within sub-millimeter accuracy to detectTo sense or obtain a measurable indication from a feature. anything from pipe wall thickness to metal loss, to dents and ovalities. NDT Global has committed time and resources to the continued development of this technology, resulting in variations of the platform that can accommodate high-pressure pipelines of various diameters; further, it’s become the premier tool for new asset baseline assessments and aging pipeline inspections.
