• Accurate metal loss characterization in welded and
specifically in seamless pipeline by extra high sensor
density and high sampling rate
• Lifetime integrity management supported by full recording
of the raw inspection data
• Largest tool fleet on the market ensuring global tool
availability and flexibility
• High-quality service with certified processes (API 1163),
personnel qualification (ASNT) and equipment (CE, ATEX)

rity especially for concerns related to the long

seam (e.g. pre-1970 ERW). All aspects from the
inspection request to the final report are cov-
ered with the flexibility to choose from various
service options.

THE SOLUTION
A circumferential induced magnetic field generates an
optimum response from any volumetric axial-oriented
pipeline feature. Combining this with our unique sensor design
makes ROSEN’s Circumferential Magnetic Flux Leakage
Technology most suitable to reliably and effectively detect
and characterize challenging metal loss features such as
Selective Seam Weld Corrosion (SSWC). When combined with
SSWC susceptibility analysis based on material properties and
environmental conditions, this enables the differentiation of
SSWC from ‘general’ corrosion that happens to be coincident
with the longitudinal seam weld. This approach relies on an
advanced evaluation review of the in-line inspection (ILI).
Our well–structured, certified data evaluation process
enables ROSEN’s data analysts to provide the required high
quality assessment on-time.
Our reporting software ensures easy data visualization and
facilitates the broad use of inspection results.
SERVICE OPTIONS
