CRACK DETECTION AND WALL LOSS FOR CHALLENGING INLINE PIPELINE INSPECTIONS
CRACK DETECTION ANDWALL LOSS FOR CHALLENGING PIPELINE INSPECTIONS
Vector Phased Array Smart Pig is a highly configurable NDT inspection tool with a Circular Phased Array ultrasonic sensor designed for unpiggable pipeline inspection of diameters ranging from 3inch to 12inch. The tool is designed to perform simultaneous crack detection and high resolution wall loss in one run.
The modular tool is capable of adding additional battery and storage pods when needed for the those challenging long run inspections. The tool can be configured in a way to be bi-directional and pass through 1D bends for the tight space small run inspections.
The dual encoders on board the tool make sure the data collected with millimetre accuracy. The tool can run autonomously or tethered to tackle a range of applications.
Fitness For Service (FFS) reports are available when using this tool including API 579 and POF 2016.

CIRCULARPHASED ARRAY CRACK DETECTION TECHNOLOGY
Circular Phased Array used high frequency ultrasound to send sound waves into the material in order to scan for defects and corrosion.
The unique Circular Phased Array sensor allows a combination of multiple angles and techniques to be fired into the pipe wall at the same time in one run improving the probability of detection and less downtime for operators.
The tool has the ability to detect and size for sub 1mm axial cracks, circumferential cracks, stress cracking corrosion (SCC), wall loss and geometry evaluation. The tool can also scan the pipeline welds at the same time.

INSPECTION SOFTWARE
Vector Phased Array Smart Pig software is a powerful package capable of providing the operator the flexibility they need to set up the tool for many different applications. The powerful software package collects the raw A scan data in all orientations allowing for a higher probability of detection of defects and advanced analysis capabilities.
The package can perform multi group angled and zero degree inspection simultaneously. This makes sure no defect will be missed when scanning the pipe.
The software programs the tool for data acquisition in different mediums and sound velocities without the need for mechanical modification of the tool. The flexibility of optimising the configuration for specific applications ensures the best possible inspection outcome.
