Quest TruTec's proprietary technology, InVista™, is an autonomous intelligent pig capable of rapid automated UT (ultrasonic) inspection of unpiggable pipelines of more than 25 miles (40 kilometers) in length. Reporting capabilities range from standard line plots, data tables to elaborate 2-Dimensional (2D) and 3-Dimensional (3D) graphical pipe layouts, enabling accurate and timely risk-based decisions for resource management.
Features
- Capable of inspecting 3" to 12” diameter pipelines
- Capable of passing through short radius, 1-Diameter (1D) return bends
- Capable of inspecting pipelines with varying thicknesses / schedules
- Simultaneously measures wall thickness, average wall thickness, pit depth, inside radius, average radius, and axial position
- Bi-directional functionality
- Above-ground markers track the tool's location
- Inspection data is compatible with LifeQuest™ Pipeline software for the purpose of generating Fitness-for-Services assessments
Benefits
- Capable of detecting pipe wall loss in the form of:
- Corrosion (internal / external)
- Erosion (internal / external)
- Pitting (internal / external)
- Mechanical damage (internal / external)
- Capable of detecting deformation in the form of:
- Bulging
- Swelling
- Denting
- Ovality
- Proprietary 3-Dimensional (3D) reports allow for improved resource management as well as operational analysis
- Performs non-contact in-situ measurements
- Survives harsh hydraulic inspection environments
- Engineering analysis available through LifeQuest™ Pipeline
Applications
- Pipelines
- Underground / buried / road crossings
- Insulated (i.e. asbestos)
- Overhead (i.e. congested pipe racks)
- In plant / between plants / wharf lines
- 3" - 12” diameter pipelines – over 25 miles (40 kilometers) in length
