InVista™ Inspection Technology
Inspection Applications n Airport fuel transfer systems n Compressor and pump stations n Corrosion under insulation (CUI) n Delivery and tank farms n Exploration and production injection lines n New construction baselines n Petrochemical fuel stock lines n Pipe with limited or missing pipeline data n Product and fuel loading lines n Refinery, process and racked piping n Restricted or improperly designed liquid lines n Road crossing and casings n Terminal storage lines n Upstream gathering and flow lines n Vaults and offshore piping n Water distribution lines n Wharf, station and jetty connections
BenefitsImproved Safety and Flexibility n Lightweight, self-contained, compact tools are handled easily; no lifting machinery required n Superb minimum passage and bend capabilities; negotiates damaged or restricted pipe n Lower pressure differential requirements and bidirectional capability minimize line disruptions
Reduced Operational Risk n Unique design reduces wear, impact and debris collection associated with conventional in-line inspection technology n Direct high-density UT measurement delivers accurate, repeatable results n Solutions oriented—analysis of all line data vs. individualflawlocations
Cost-Effectiveness n Single pass, combined geometry and metal-loss data provides 100% overlapping coverage n LinearUTsizingminimizesverificationdigsand improvesexcavationandrepairconfidence n Permanentlinemodificationsnotrequired
Time Efficiency n Efficientinspectionsminimizeofflinestatus n Onsite turnaround and rapid data analysis allows real-time operating decisions n UT inspections do not permanently magnetize pipe, thereby eliminating demagnetization repairs
InVista™High density ultrasonic measurement provides 100% overlapping coverage of geometry and metal-loss features in a single pass
n Overcomes challenges associated with traditionally difficult or unpiggable pipelines n Accommodates 3” - 24” diameters and dual diameters n Back-to-back bends with >90° short radius turns n Bore restrictions, step changes, reduced port valves n Limited or missing launcher/receiver facilities n Low/no flow or limited flow conditions n Non-standard and bulging pipe material n Significant wall-thickness changes n Single entry/exit, line stoppage, plugged valves n Tight bend radius to 1.0 diameter, mitre bends n Unbarred tees and wyes
