Corrosion and Metal Loss Characterisation
Managing corrosion requires accurate defect detection, sizing, and classification. Properly characterized defect results then need to be assessed to determine actual growth rate.
Magnetic and ultrasonic ILI tools each offer unique advantages in detecting corrosion and the selection decision should be aligned with the operator's particular mission and its underlying threat(s).
To effectively manage the inspection process requires having a highly accurate pipe centreline need for accurate Above Ground Markers (AGM)and defect stationing.
