The Vector Inspection team is excited to announce our participation in the PPSA Pigging Seminar & Exhibition, taking place November 18 &19 in Aberdeen, UK. 🔍 What to expect at our booth #12: Live demonstrations of our next-generation PAUT inspection tool, a powerful 4-in-1 solution designed to push the limits of pipeline inspection and integrity. If you’d like to set up a one-on-one discussion during the event, feel free to message our team directly or reach out via...

At Vector Inspection, we specialise in inspecting the most challenging and traditionally unpiggable pipelines. Our PAUT-PIG™ (Phased Array UT Smart Pigging Tool) combines four critical inspection technologies in a single run: ✅ Crack Detection ✅  Wall Thickness ✅ Geometry (Dent & Ovality) ✅ XYZ Mapping Instead of mobilising multiple tools, performing multiple cleaning runs, and multiple shutdowns, our PAUT-PIG™ delivers all results in one inspection, reducing t

When it comes to unpiggable pipelines, one of the biggest challenges is navigating tight 1D short-radius bends, areas where conventional intelligent pigs fail, stall, or produce unreliable data. At Vector Inspection, every one of our PAUT-PIG™ intelligent ultrasonic inspection tools is purpose-designed to handle these bends with precision and reliability. ✅ 1D Short Radius Compatible - Engineered to flex and adapt through the tightest geometry. ✅ Multi-diameter Capable - Seam

For decades, fired heater and furnace tube inspections have been limited by coverage and accuracy. At Vector Inspection, we’ve changed the game. The HEATER-PIG™ is a bi-directional intelligent pigging tool that uses Phased Array Ultrasonics (PAUT) to deliver 100% coverage and 4-in-1 performance inside even the most complex heater coils. The tool is designed to travel through the most complicated systems with 1D bends, Mule-ears and plug headers. ✅  ✅ Crack Detection - Identif

In ultrasonic in-line inspection (UT ILI), the A-Scan is the true heartbeat of the data. It’s the raw ultrasonic signal, the untouched waveform that tells the real story of what’s happening inside the pipeline wall. Yet in today’s market, very few inspection providers truly understand or preserve it. Most UT ILI tools on the market either: ❌   ❌ Don’t store the A-Scan data at all ❌   ❌ Heavily downsample it, often losing over 95% of the original data. Unfortunately, if some U

Traditional UT pigging tools often can’t access complex pipeline systems due to their large size, weight and number of pods. That’s where our lightweight and agile intelligent pigging tools make the difference. Utilising 35 years of ultrasonic electronic design experience and the latest ultrasonic chips on the market has enabled us to miniaturise our pigging tools to an unimaginable scale while maintaining a sensor count high enough to achieve 100% internal pipe coverage.
