Chapter 1. TOOL CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

1.1. Purpose
To ensure that specified and declared tool accuracy and detection values are
met during the actual in-line pipeline inspection.

1.2. Scope
This procedure is applicable to working processes of QA/QC, Production, Data
Evaluation and Project Departments.

1.3. Responsibility
QA/QC, Production, Data Evaluation Department Managers are responsible
for implementation of this procedure.

1.4. Definitions

ILI tool: In-line Inspection tool/vehicle, intelligent geometry or

magnetic flux leakage pig.
MFL tool: Magnetic flux leakage (MFL) is a magnetic method of
nondestructive testing that is used to detect corrosion and
pitting in steel structures, most commonly pipelines and
storage tanks. MFL imparts an axial magnetic field and is
therefore limited in defect detection for narrow axial
features - cracks in seam welds, axial orientated slotting
and NAEC.
Caliper tool: A type of tool used to measure internal diameter of the
pipeline.
Test pipe: Metal pipe with artificial defects, used for testing and
calibration of the ILI tool
PTT: Pull Through Test – operation used for ILI tool testing and
calibration by pulling the tool through test pipe.

1.5. Materials and equipment

∙ Test pipe.
∙ PTT Test stand;
∙ Pulling Winch;
∙ Operator PC;

Page 4 of 19
18 inch Combo CALIBRATION REPORT

∙ Connection cables;
∙ Pulling rope;
∙ Hoisting facilities;
∙ Accessories;
∙ Metal processing tools;
∙ Measurement instruments including handheld UT scanner.

1.6. Procedure
Pull-Through Test is carried out by pulling the magnetic flux leakage or
geometry inspection vehicle through the test pipe by means of a hydraulic or
manual winch. The tool is moved at a constant velocity of 0.3-3.0 m/sec. On
the test pipe, artificial models of defect types of different sizes are applied.
Dimensions of the defects are accurately measured. The tool is switched to
operating mode during the test and after the test, the received data is
analyzed.
Geometry tool is calibrated on a stand-by means of a special calibration ruler
in a static condition for building calibration curves.

1.7. Preparation
Joint measurements of all the test pipe anomalies provided may be checked
by client representative with our QA/ QC personnel, with inspection tools and
instruments, prior to Pull through Test and to be recorded.

1.8. After Test Activities

After the Pull Through Test, the inspection tool is moved from the output tray
of the testing pipe with appropriate hoisting facilities.
The operator connects cables and checks the functionality of the systems and
availability of the recorded data. In case systems are inoperative or/and data
is not recorded tool is returned to Production Department for investigation.

Operator downloads the data to PC, records on a portable memory unit and
handed over to Evaluation department for analysis.

1.9. Reporting Activity

After completion of data evaluation, data analyst will issue Pull Through Test
report including:
- ILI tool configuration includes a number of primary and secondary sensors;

Page 5 of 19
18 inch Combo CALIBRATION REPORT

- ILI tool functionality test report.

This report includes all defects sizing including ID/OD discrimination, axial
and circumferential position. Defects in HAZ will be highlighted.
1.10. Personnel involved
Representatives from Production, QA/QC and Projects Departments and
Electronic Division are to be present during the Pull-Through Test.
Representatives of Production - and QA/QC Departments, as well as
Electronic Division, are to confirm on the pull through test report card
readiness of the inspection tool for Pull Through Test. Evaluation department
manager issues the Pull-Through Test report. A representative of Data
Evaluation and Projects Departments confirm that accuracy specifications of
the tool meet the requirements specified based on Pull Through Test.

1.11. QA/QC
QA/QC department representative controls the whole process and
documentation is checked and approved by the QA/QC Manager. Pull through
tests are obligatorily attended by QA/QC Production representative. Pull
Through Test & Calibration reports are prepared and maintained by the
Evaluation and Projects Department.

2.3. Tool Calibration Report

Pull Trough Test was conducted in a spool (test pipe) with artificial defects
according to the drawings attached in Chapter 2.

Magnetization level in test pipe with 9.5 mm wall thickness reached 20 kA/m.

According to the POF specification, this level of pipe wall magnetization guaranteed
good sensitivity and accuracy of the MFL ILI tool.

For the PTT run the defects will be analyzed against actual parameters.

MFL log presents PTT run data. The vertical axis on the log represents degree
position of the defects (0-360 degree corresponding to 12:00 o’clock clockwise
positions). The horizontal axis on the logs represents recorded distance aligned
with the starting of the PTT pipe - first spool.
