Pipescan is an easy to use, cost effective, portable, magnetic IN-SERVICE INSPECTION

flux leakage inspection system for the detection of random Magnetic flux leakage inspection is not affected by product
internal corrosion in pipe runs. flowing through the pipe so surveys can be carried out both
on-line and off-line and at surface temperatures up to 90 C.
The latest magnetic material coupled with unique mechanical Use of Pipescan, with its high probability of detection to locate
designs enables coverage of all pipe diameters from 48mm to the corrosion, coupled with ultrasonic prove up, provides a cost
2.4 metres with a limited number of scanning heads. effective accurate system for the determination of plant integrity.
KEY FEATURES
> Flexible heads fit a range of pipe & vessel sizes
> Rapid screening of complete pipe work with higher probability
of detection than UT spot readings
> Use in conjunction with UT follow up for quantifying any
indications
> Simple to operate with minimum training to semi skilled operator
> Proven MFL technology
> Field proven durability & reliability
Electronics Module
The easy to use Pipescan system consists of a scanning head and a rechargeable
battery powered portable electronics module which provides up to 8 hours of operation.
The electronics module features audible and visual alarms to alert the operator to the
presence of corrosion during a scan.
The alarm sensitivity is adjustable, allowing the operator to calibrate the Pipescan to
detect corrosion above the defined reporting level, but ignore low level, non-relevant
corrosion signals.

HOw it works
The operator first connects the sensor cable between the scanning head and electronics
module. Switch on the electronics module, set the required wall thickness and adjust the
alarm sensitivity using a reference pipe with known artificial defects. Then simply set up
the scanning head on the pipe to be inspected, push the scanning head and monitor the
electronics module for the audible and visual alarm.
Any areas identified by the Pipescan system can then be marked on the pipe for further
analysis by a secondary inspection technique, normally ultrasonic and for detailed corrosion
mapping we recommend the RMS2 or Thetascan systems.
