Feature Detection
& Measurement Capability
PIPECARE Feature Compass:
The PIPECARE Feature Compass provides an overview

of the Detection- and Inspection Capabilities for the
PIPECARE In-line Inspection Technologies and Tools for
common Features.

Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL)
Versatile and Reliable Pipeline ILI Tools
 MFL Technology based In-Line Inspection Tools for Detection

and Measurement of Metal Loss Features, such as General-,
Pitting- and Pinhole Corrosion as well as Scratches, Gouges
and Features in Girth- and Long-Seam Welds
 Utilizes Triaxial Hall Effect Sensors with the highest

Circumferential Sensor Resolution available in the market
 Can be Utilized in any Pipeline Medium

MFL ILI Tool Validation – Pinholes
• US Client had Pinhole Corrosion in one of his main
8” Pipelines and the ILI results received from his ILI
Vendors did not match the Detection and Sizing
Requirements, therefore they conducted Pump
and Pull-Through test at the PRCI with 8” Test Spools
cut out of the Pipeline.
• PIPECARE was One of the invited ILI Vendor to

conduct the Tests.
• The Client was very Impressed with the results

PIPECARE provide
• Detection and Accuracy has been Extremely

Good MFL Data Synchronization

MFL ILI Tool Validation
 Pipecare successfully conducted Pull-Through-Testing at

PRCI Houston Facility.
 Blade Energy Partners, a PRCI associated Integrity

Company, compared the PIPECARE Report Results with
the “Truth Data” and testified Outstanding Sizing Accuracy
of PIPECARE MFL ILI Tool

MFL Transverse Field Inspection (TFI)
Inspection Technology Tailored for Inspection of Axial oriented Features
 Utilizes Transverse magnetic Field Inspection technology

in combination with highest sensor resolution for the
inspection of Pipelines Axial Features
 Detects and Measures Axial Oriented Features, such as

Channel Corrosion, Longitudinal Weld Features and any
other axial features

Ultrasonic Wall Measurement (UTWM)
State-of-the-Art Ultrasonic Metal Loss Inspection
 Ultrasonic direct Wall Thickness measurements provides

Detection and Accurate Sizing of Metal Loss features
including mid-wall features, such as laminations or inclusions.
 100% Pipe-Surface Coverage; overlapping sensor resolution

in axial and circumferential direction.
 Available in High- (8 mm) and Extra-High(4 mm)

Circumferential Resolution.

Smart Caliper AI
Innovative Geometry ILI Solution

Inspection Technologies like Geometry, Mapping and
Speed Control Unit
 Collection of different Inspection Technology Data Sets in a

Single Inspection Run
 Modular ILI Tool Design enables Combination of most

available ILI Technologies for the required Inspection Task
 Time and Cost Efficient

Ultrasonic Crack Inspection (UTCD)
Advanced Longitudinal and Circumferential Crack Inspection Technology
 State-of-the-Art Crack Inspection for Liquid Pipelines with

High Probability of Detection (POD), High Probability of
Identification (POI) and Very Good Probability of Sizing
(POS) for cracks and stress corrosion cracking (SCC)
 Available for Longitudinal/Axial Crack Inspection (UTCD-A)

and Circumferential Crack Inspection (UTCD-C)
 Extremely good Ultrasonic Signal Quality due to the

modular PIPECARE “SKI Concept” – No external cabling
required!
 Available in High- (8 mm) and Extra-High(4 mm)

Circumferential Resolution

EMAT Crack Inspection
An Innovative Approach for Crack Inspection in Gas Pipeline
 Based on the Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT)

Physical Principle to enable Crack Inspection without Liquid
Coupling in Gas Pipelines
 Two (2) Independent EMAT Tools –> the EMAT AX with Axial
Magnetization and the EMAT CX with Circumferential
Magnetization (generates up to 6 data sets for every pipeline,
incl. Smart Caliper AI)
 High Probability of Detection (POD), High Probability of

Identification (POI) and Very Good Probability of Sizing (POS)
for cracks and stress corrosion cracking (SCC)

Integrity Management Process
Established and Defined Process documented in International IM
codes and Best Practice, including: API 1160, ASME 31.8S, DOT 49
CFR 192 & 195, AS 2285, DNV RP-F-116, PAS 55, HSE Guidance
Effective Management of Plant Ageing):
• PIMS System – Policies, Procedures and People

• Regulatory Compliance
• Data Management and Integration
• Risk Assessment
• Integrity Management Planning and Implementation
o Inspection
o FFS Assessment
o Repair and Rehabilitation
• Performance against KPIs

• Audit, Update, Improve

Why did we Develop Predicta?

Overview - Predicta
• Integrating Data related to the Pipeline’s Critical Activities
results in a more effective Integrity Program
• Predicta®, with its Built-in Integration Capabilities

• Presents all available Digital Information on Pipelines
• Recommends Maintenance Optimization
• Visualizes the Pipelines Routing for Quick and Seamless
Assessments
• In Compliance with International Standards, e.g. API, ASME,

DNV, Predicta® utilizes the results of In-line Inspection as a
base to Evaluate the Pipeline Integrity by:
• Estimated Repair Factor (ERF)
• Safe / Failure Pressure
• Pipeline Remaining Life
• Mitigation / Repair Time

Maximize the Value of Data
 Centralised Management of Pipeline Data (Design,

Construction, Inspection & Maintenance and
Operational Data).
 Simple entry of Data and Execution of Integrity

Assessment and Reporting.
 Assessments to extract Maximum Value from the

Data.

Threat Assessment
 Upload and Align with other Pipeline Information

(elevation, CIPS, DCVG Data, Pipeline Route Map
 Feature Characterization plots of ILI Data
 User Ability to Segment the Pipeline for detailed

Root Cause Diagnosis Analysis based on Pipeline
Data
 Identify / Optimise Maintenance Activities

Fitness for Service
 Based on Inspection Data, identify and locate Primary

Integrity Threat(s)
 Characterise the Cause and Location of any Damage to
the Pipeline
 Assess the Pipeline Integrity - Immediate FFS Assessment –
Complete Range of Assessment Methods and Graphical
Charts
• Corrosion – (B31-G and modified B31-G, DNV Part B,

Kastner),
Unsafe
• Manufacturing Features – Shannon
• Dents and other Geometric Features Safe
• Crack Assessment

Future Integrity Prediction
Accurate estimation of Corrosion Growth Rate is a Critical Requirement for Developing Effective Repair,
Maintenance and Re-inspection Schedules
 Single Inspection – ILI results and other Pipeline

Operation Data
 Repeat Sets of ILI Inspections

• Data Alignment
• Feature Matching and Signal Review
• Corrosion Growth Rate Estimation

Remaining Life Prediction
For active Threats, what Actions are required to
Manage the Future Integrity?
