A single inspection allows you to project corrosion growth and gain insights into potential future repairs and the timing for re-inspection. However, conducting two inspections, particularly with the same tool, not only identifies areas of active corrosion but also pinpoints defects that demand immediate attention. Additionally, it aids in suggesting mitigation measures to address the root cause. TDW employs signal data comparison to assist operators in comprehending corrosion and its consequences. Take a glance at this instance of "aggressive" corrosion growth.
Did you know understanding corrosion growth can help you plan for the longevity of your pipeline? With just one in-line inspection run you can get an optimized repair plan and an estimate of the longevity of your pipeline, the operating pressures (if derating is required) and the next inspection interval. Check out this corrosion case study for a great example: https://bit.ly/46n6Dlu #pipelineintegrity #pipelines #oilandgas #TDWshares
I remember doing some sort of similar works at Cranfield for a sponsored project (1996!!) when we were modelling spatial and temporal corrosion growth - in an effort to predict safe life of subsea pipelines or time to failure
