A gas leak explosion occurred in Potaocun, Pingtan Town, Yangquan City, Shanxi Province, on February 14, 2025, injuring three people at Shunyaoda Coal Product Processing Co., Ltd. A similar incident also took place on February 12 in a makeshift room, causing one additional injury. All four victims are currently receiving treatment at Yangmei Hospital in stable condition, with medical expenses covered by the company. The Yangquan Urban District Government has formed an investigation team to look into the incident.

Initial findings indicate that the gas leak originated from a pipeline owned by Huayang Group’s coalbed gas company, which has since halted gas transmission. Authorities, including public security, emergency services, and firefighters, responded swiftly to the scene. This incident highlights the importance of regular pipeline inspections to prevent similar accidents in the future. Companies must adhere to safety regulations and conduct thorough checks to ensure the safety of workers and the surrounding community.

Therefore, regular inspections of pipelines are essential. At IP Pipeline Technology, we offer gas or oil pipeline inspection services using our advanced equipment such as MFL and Caliper. MFL (Magnetic Flux Leakage) is an inspection method used to detect leaks or damage in pipelines by using a magnetic field. MFL can identify issues such as corrosion or cracks in the pipeline wall.

Caliper is a tool used to measure the thickness of the pipe wall and detect any deformation in the pipe structure. The caliper tool can detect the depression, ovality, deformation, wall thickness, change of the pipeline, and various pipeline accessories that cause the inner diameter of the pipeline to change to ensuring its safety and efficiency.

From the inspection results, data will be gathered, allowing the analysis team to identify defects in the pipeline, such as leaks, welding issues, and other structural problems. This enables the company to take proactive measures to repair the pipeline and prevent accidents, similar to the one mentioned above, from occurring in the future. By utilizing MFL and Caliper, pipeline inspections become more effective, ensuring that any potential risks are addressed before they lead to serious incidents.
