NDT Global (Dublin, Ireland) described as a leader in innovative inline inspection technologies, is officially launching a 56-inch (1.4 m) ultrasonic inline inspection tool. The tool was developed in collaboration to meet the inspection requirements of integrated oil and gas company Aramco.
Traditionally, magnetic flux leakage (MFL) and caliper-based inspection methods would have been the choice for large-diameter pipelines, NDT explains. But after successful solution enhancements and close customer collaboration, operators can now deploy this ultrasonic crack and metal loss inline inspection service.
This tool stands as NDT Global’s largest ultrasonic inline inspection tool capable of navigating unique pipeline networks while ensuring peak levels of accuracy.
“We are excited to partner with operators like Aramco to introduce our advanced ultrasonic inline inspection technology to their pipeline infrastructure,” says Nathan Leslie, vice president of product management at NDT Global. “Together, we are devising solutions to tackle operator challenges and offering an innovative approach to detecting, sizing, and characterizing cracks and metal loss anomalies.”
With new additions like this combined inspection tool, NDT Global says it remains committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation in pipeline inspections. By successfully leveraging the best inline diagnostic data, operators can gain actionable insights that drive predictive analysis, long-term risk evaluation, and optimal asset health for operators worldwide.
