Pipeline Defect Mapper

Category: Characterization > Inspection > Others
Reference # : Model No :

The Pipeline Defect Mapper uses locating and signal processing techniques to plot the current gradient of an industry standard low frequency profiling current. The current is applied at CP stations, so the disruption of the pipeline can be minimized.

Benefits

• Real-time on-screen mapping.
• Integrated GPS and Bluetooth.
• Low-frequency 3Hz and 4Hz current mapping.
• Identify the location of coating defects.
• Identify shorts to other structures.
• Operate as a long-line pipeline locator.

Limitations

The transmitter is designed only to be powered from CP (Cathodic Protection) stations, AC or external batteries.

Comments

There is no need to carry extra logging and display devices. All the data is displayed and logged into the receiver for downloading to a spreadsheet or dedicated analysis program.
