... crawler that has the key advantage to rapidly scan large surfaces with or without coating and detect reliably internal wire defects. MEC is complemented by a frequency-based ultrasonic measurements system to assess the flooding status of the riser. For the assessment of specific issues, a CT scanner...

... Abstract This paper describes the history of an offshore pipeline that failed from an internal corrosion defect that was not detected by the MFL-A technology. After the failure, the pipeline was inspected with different technologies such as MFL-A, MFL-C, IEC, and Ultrasonic Wall Thickness...

... and defects, inspection planning and execution. The use of adequate techniques and new technologies are important parameters in the overall integrity management process, but there might not be a single right way or process to ensure structural integrity, thus consensus may not be always achieved. Nevertheless...
