![]() | Problem There are two basic forms of pipe shape variation. One form is local feature, such as dents, wrinkles and ovalities, another form is bending. Mechanical deformation of a pipeline can occur in a variety of ways, including initial construction, subsequent retrofits, and third-party excavations. The high stresses and strains caused by these features can damage integrity and cause failures. |
Solution IP provides a caliper with accuracy up to 1%D. Our advanced geometry services are the perfect solution for many geometric inspection purposes. The service can be used to check the completion quality of the pipeline, identify third party damage, and confirm passage for subsequent inline inspection tools. | ![]() |
