Detection Capabilities

  • Corrosion
  • Dents with corrosion
  • Smooth dents

Hand-held Creaform laser profilometry is a proven technology that identifies anomalies before they become critical, providing fast, accurate and permanent documentation about corrosion and dent depths on large external pipeline sections.
Creaform works by creating a three-dimensional surface profile as its laser scanners move along the pipeline’s outer surface. The laser scanning system compiles the data to create a contour map that can be analyzed digitally, generating a detailed anomaly profile operators can use to prioritize repairs. Spreadsheets containing the laser scan data can be directly downloaded into pipeline remaining strength (RSTRENG) software.

Key Features

  • Provides ASME Dent B31.8R Strain-based analysis
  • Scan data can be used to determine corrosion cells’ interaction with one another
  • Because the laser scanning process is highly repeatable, the position and size data for each anomaly can be compared to scans of the same area. That makes it easy to track and monitor growth
  • The system provides permanent documentation of corrosion depth measurements and screen shots of the 3D scans
  • Through-thickness profiles are available
  • Depth measurement accuracy is within 0.002 inches
