CORROSION
Unlike traditional pit gauges, Pipecheck has the capacity to measure both the internal corrosion (thanks to UT or interior 3D scanning if possible) and external corrosion (with 3D scanning) to get a complete 3D visualization of the damages for more detailed, in-depth analyses.

- ANALYSE
- REPORT
DENTING (MECHANICAL DAMAGE)
Pipecheck provides key pipeline inspection functionalities, such as the automatic detection of the maximum depth, which can be difficult to find with traditional measurement methods, like pit gagues.
- SCAN
- ANALYSE
- REPORT
WRINKLE ANALYSIS
Pipecheck’s wrinkle analysis module is programmed to calculate the crest-to-trough depth of the ripple as well as the wavelength, circumferential extent, and diameter restriction—enhancing the quality of pipeline inspection analyses and reporting.

ADVANCED PIPELINE INSPECTION FUNCTIONALITIES
Being able to assess material loss depth from mechanical damage deformation is no longer an unattainable goal. Pipecheck software is the one and only NDT solution on the market to offer unique and sophisticated tools able to extract corrosion depth inside a pipe’s mechanical damage.
In-line inspection (ILI) performance levels can be monitored in Pipecheck by correlating pig data against pipeline 3D scanning and/or imported UT data. The interface has been optimized to compare the depth, length, and width of features in just one click. However, the more pipeline operators accumulate a significant amount of data, the more the correlation results are accurate. ILI determines, with more accuracy, which sites really need to be dug up, reducing the number of excavations necessary for direct assessment and repair.
Conventional methods for depth measurement (pit gauges) cannot be used accurately since pipe curvatures often introduce depth values that do not represent material loss or pipe geometry deformations. To solve this issue—and to improve efficiency and confidence in results—Pipecheck features a built-in pipeline straightening tool. This non-destructive evaluation (NDE) tool uses powerful algorithms that extract the pipe centerline and straighten the full segment. The metal loss or mechanical damage can then be assessed with Pipecheck using the virtual pit gauge tool to report depth readings free of any curvatures.
Pipecheck can now assess full pipe joints. It saves time and money by scanning pipes all at once or with multiple HandySCAN 3Ds simultaneously. It enables any NDT service company and pipeline operator to perform pipeline integrity assessments on pipes up to 18 m (60 ft) in length.
