Features & BenefitsEmatScan CD applies Electro Magnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT) technology to the unique demands of in-line inspection - detecting and measuring a full range of cracking defects in gas pipelines. Conventional ultrasonic inspection methods require gas pipelines to be either filled with a liquid or that the tools run in a liquid batch. EmatScan CD does not require a liquid medium for its signals to reach the pipe wall. So operators no longer need to subject their gas pipelines to costly pre-inspection preparation or contamination by foreign liquids in order to obtain accurate inspection data. Another of EmatScan CD's strengths is its ability to detect even sub-critical SCC. This capability gives operators the advanced warning essential for the initiation of effective SCC management programs - without the high costs and loss of production associated with the common (yet less efficient and statistically inferior) method of hydrostatic testing. The final report lists all crack-like flaws, with depth grading and location information. C-Scan images are provided for all documented features that meet the criteria set when the inspection was planned. |

Eliminate Costly Pre-Inspection PreparationEmatScan CD is the first in-line inspection tool to give gas pipeline operators the same crack-detection benefits and confidence levels as their liquid-pipeline counterparts. |
