Intelligent Pigging Systems MFL (Magnetic Flux Leakage) UT (Ultrasonic Testing) Uses magnetic flux leakage technique to Uses ultrasonic testing technique to take Measurement magnetize line and measure flux leakage. measurements at 1,600 times per second. Results quoted as +/- 10% which means 20% Highest available accuracy with defects Accuracy margin of error. measured to within 0.1 mm. Can take 2 to 3 months with data analysis Instantly available after inspection with simple Result Availability performed by expert. and easy to understand analysis. Large tools sometimes weighing hundreds of Small lightweight tools weighing around 20% Size and Weight kilograms needing cranes to launch. of MFL tools of the same diameter. Lifting equipment required and due to large size No lifting equipment required for tools up to Launching needs significant clearing. 36" and can launch in restricted space. Can be used in most mediums including gas, Works only in liquid filled lines although Medium liquid and multiphase. batching can be used in gas lines. Works on any material and on any thickness of Bare carbon steel only and to a maximum Pipe Material pipe wall. thickness of 25mm Can travel at speeds of 1 to 5 meters per Needs travel speed of 1 to 5 meters per second to Speed second making them ideal for long lines. be effective. Can travel many hundreds or thousands Up to 100 kilometers is possible however up to 50 Range of kilometers. kilometers is ideal. Cheap in comparison to other techniques Cost is 50% lower than other techniques and Cost but expensive compared to Dacon UT. mobilization and launch is cheaper.

How UT Pigging Works • Horizontally placed ultrasonic transducer sends sound waves horizontally. • 45 ° rotating mirror directs the sound waves perpendicular towards the pipe wall. • Signal reflects back to the transducer the same way it came. • Difference in time between sent and received signal measured and recorded. • Measurements of up to 1,600 times per second depending on the pipe diameter.

PIPELINE DACON INSPECTION SERVICES INSPECTION PROCESS

Progressive Pigging • Soft foam pig is launched to ensure there are no obstructions in the pipeline. • Medium or hard density foam cleaning pigs are launched to clean the line and further detect for obstructions. • Gauging pig is launched into the pipeline as a final check for obstructions, dents and ovalities that may cause problems. • If gauging plate comes back in a satisfactory condition then the Intelligent Pig is launched and the pipeline data acquired. • Data is downloaded directly from the pig to the Dacon data analysis system and an immediate initial assessment can be given.
