Inspection System handles unpiggable pipelines.

Suited for oil and gas industries, SmartScan(TM) performs in-line corrosion inspection of pipelines deemed unpiggable because of valve restrictions, multiple pipeline diameters, or multiple sharp bends. Flexible structure allows it to navigate pipeline diameter variations from 16-20, 20-26, and 24-30 in. Operators can launch and receive SmartScan via use of hot tap access hole, which is drilled...

Pipeline Inspection Tool uses medical sensors.

UltraScanÃ-® Duo, suited for use in oil and gas industries, utilizes phased array ultrasound technology to perform pipeline inspections in one run. Automated sensor system can be adjusted to measure multiple types of defects. Each sensor in system is controlled by on-board computer, which adjusts size, strength, and angle of signals. Pipeline inspection gauge processes and stores data...

Pig Tracking System handles offshore applications.

Pig Tracking System consists of transmitter, tracking sensors, and standard batteries. Pipeline inspection transmitters handle 2-72 in. pipe diameters. User installs transmitters inside pig, launches pig, and waits for signal from either pig tracking sensors or optional wand. Transmitters are pressure and temperature resistant and water tight. Self-contained sensors are non-intrusive and can be...
