Comparison Inspex vs Conventional
Inspex•Low cost
•High speed of work
•Diagnostic of non-piggable pipeline sections
•Diagnostics without stopping the pipleline flow
Conventional methods•High cost of work
•Need for preparatory work
•Stopping product transportation for the duration of inspection
•Significant limitations on applicability
•Risk of smart pig stucking

ADVANTAGES
•Remote - distance from pipe to tool up to 15 pipe diameters
•Not require stopping or reducing the volume of oil or gas transportation •Detecting anomalies in real time
•High performance – up to 30 km per day
•Could work at non-piggable pipelines
•Automatic pipeline tracing
•Detect pipeline depth
•Ability to operate in high electromagnetic environments
LIMITATIONS
•Requires a pressure of at least 5 bar (75 psi)
•Applicable only on steel pipelines

Detectable anomalies
1.Stress-deformed states
2.Corrosion and fatigue stresses
3.Defects related to metal loss and metal strength violations
4.Changing the pipeline geometry
5.Unauthorized tie-ins and repair sites
