Rust damage and corrosion on a pipeline

Corrosion Rate

The corrosion rate is a useful metric to evaluate the remaining life of a component, prioritize repairs, and plan equipment maintenance.

Because Creaform 3D technology is accurate up to 25µm, and 3D scan data is noiseless, the Monitoring module is perfect for comparing the damage evolution through time and noticing the slightest evolution.

Bending Radius (pipeline and process piping)

Pipeline provides key NDT pipeline inspection functionalities, including the automatic detection of maximum depth and size—difficult to find with traditional measuring methods. Once the surface is digitalized, pipeline computes the pipeline's diameter, curvature, and circumference for automatic defect detection and measurement.

Pigs are expensive instruments that can get caught in curved, deformed pipelines. When this situation occurs, the only way to recover the pig is to cut the pipeline inside the pipe.

The Monitoring module allows to validate the bending radius of the pipeline before the pig inspection and ensure that the pig can go through the pipeline, avoiding unnecessary downtimes and costly operations in case of an accident.

Erosion

Measuring damages in narrow, complex, or inaccessible places is always challenging. Because Creaform 3D scanning technology does not require direct contact with the part, the bad field conditions that can occur during the acquisition have no impact on the measurement accuracy.

With the Monitoring module, thickness losses can be extracted in many ways, granting our solution the flexibility required to tackle challenging inspection requirements.
