EngRx’s answer to proactive pipeline corrosion assessment
EngrRx’s solution is comprised of a HandySCAN 3D laser scanner is an innovative, intuitive and highly effective approach to pipeline corrosion inspection, and it represents the best alternative on the market to traditional NDT methods for this application.
Benefits of Laser Scanning for the Oilfield
Accurate measurements in real life operating conditions
- Metrology-grade measurements: A dynamic link between the pipe and scanner preserves accuracy and resolution in any field conditions, including vibrating environment.
- High quality results: within a ± 50 micron accuracy.
- TRUaccuracy on the pipe: Enhanced virtual pit gauge capabilities. Pit gauge configuration automatically adapted near welds to ensure the most accurate measurements.
- In-line Correlation: Assess ILI performances by comparing pig data against Pipecheck data to help determine with more precision the sites that actually need to be dug.
- Corrosion depth inside a mechanical damage: Unique and sophisticated tools to extract corrosion depth inside a mechanical damage.
3D scanning wherever you need to go
- On-the-go scanning: On site scanning for every environment.
- Fast Set Up – No costly setup costs or calibration fees.
Fastest path from physical objects to your design or inspection workflow
- Scanning speed: 80 times faster than pit gauge technique.
- Self-positioning device: No need for encoders or bulky mechanical scanners to reference the data.
- On-site reporting: Results generated within a few minutes.
The 3D scanning process
- Follows code regulation (ASME B31G)
- Real time visualization: Thanks to VXremote, the Creaform optimized remote desktop application, data acquisition can be viewed in real time.
- Flexible: Makes it possible to reach confined areas
