Safe way to do pipeline assessment

CONFORMING with the ASME B31G and B31.8 industry standards, Creaform’s Pipecheck is the solution to identifying any potential issues on both the inner and outer linings of pipes, whether they be corrosion, dents or gouges in the metal.

The Pipecheck now introduces true wall thickness assessment analysis based on the combination of various integrity assessment technologies. The idea behind Pipecheck 3.2 is to combine the strengths of the best NDT equipment into a single software to get the most accurate and realistic damage evaluation of the pipeline—both inside and outside.

It brings together NDT and NDE system capabilities, such as 3D scan data and ultrasonic testing (UT) into its intuitive and powerful pipeline integrity assessment software platform.

Other enhancements include: Edit scan in real time: Improve workflows by saving time during data reconstruction for increased field efficiency. Section tools: Use this tool to easily clean artefacts that do not need to be analyzed, such as a flanges, welds, valves, etc. Software speed and performances enhanced: Several improvements were made to increase the precision and reliability of the inspection results.

Jérôme-Alexandre Lavoie, Product Manager. “By opening Pipecheck to other assessment solutions, NDT service companies and pipeline engineers can get more secure and traceable analyses from which they can extract more data to ensure the safest assessment there is. It is the first step to a new generation of pipeline management solutions.”
