Crack Detector
The pipeline crack detector is based on the balanced field electromagnetic methodwhich can effectively detect the internal and external cracks of the pipe wall, the cracks at thecircumferential welds and the cracks at the straight welds.
Inspection Accuracy for crack detector
POI(Probability of identification) | For cracks within 10mm from the inner surface, where the width of the opening is more than 0.1mm, the height (depth) is greater than 10%wt, and the length is greater than 25mm, the POI is 90%. |
Length accuracy with 90% of certainty | ±10mm |
Depth accuracy of crack on inner surface with 90% of certainty | ±2mm |
Depth accuracy of buried crack with 90% of certainty | ±3mm |
Location accuracy from markers with 90% of certainty | 2‰ (2 m in 1000m of pipelines from marker) |
Accuracy of axial position from closer weld w/ 90% of certainty | ±0.1m |
Accuracy of Circumferential position w/ 90% of certainty | ±5° |
