Pipeline Metal Loss Inspection

Left unchecked, pipeline metal lossRefers to the reduction in material thickness or cross-sectional area of a pipe due to corrosion, erosion, or other forms of degradation. can have severe consequences.

As a result, managing pipeline metal loss is one of the critical maintenance tasks operators need to prioritize in order to ensure the safe and profitable operation of their business.

Whether a pipeline’s medium is liquid or gas, NDT Global has the hardware and software tools needed to precisely measure an operation’s interior or exterior pipeline thickness to within millimeters of accuracy. We accomplish this by operating at the leading edge of ultrasonic (our EVO platform) and Acoustic Resonance inspection (our ART Scan™ platform) technologies to deliver the data and analysis required to make informed pipeline integrityThe capability of a pipeline to perform its intended function safely and reliably throughout its life. It includes a range of factors, including the structural … management decisions.

In addition to providing a snapshot of your operation’s pipeline integrity, NDT Global is the established go-to partner for the assessment of ongoing metal lossRefers to the reduction in material thickness or cross-sectional area of a pipe due to corrosion, erosion, or other forms of degradation. challenges. The products being transported (whether liquid or gas) have some inherent corrosive elements. And over time, those corrosive elements have the ability to compromise pipeline wall thickness. By partnering with NDT Global to perform periodic ILI’s, operators can get the data required to accurately predict how and when corrosive elements will erode pipeline wall thickness. With this information in hand, operators have the ability to schedule required maintenance and maximize the lifetime of the pipelines they’re managing.

Pipeline metal loss is unavoidable, but with NDT Global, it is in quantifiable and predictable. Our EVO series and ART Scan technologies offer both liquid and gas pipeline business owners the tools they need to maximize the return on operational investment while maintaining the highest safety standards.
