As the standard for portable metrology-grade 3D scanners, the HandySCAN 3D delivers accurate and repeatable results in all work conditions, whether under direct sunlight or in harsh environments. Not only can service companies fully trust HandySCAN 3D’s reliable data but they can also count on its speed to take measurements, deliver results, and complete inspection quickly and efficiently. The HandySCAN 3D is your go-to NDT solution for pipeline inspections.
THE FASTEST AND EASIEST NDT 3D SCANNER
The Go!SCAN 3D offers the fastest and easiest 3D experience for NDT technicians who perform pipeline inspections for different types of damage, particularly corrosion. The Go!SCAN 3D’s different positioning modes speed up setup times and accelerates field deployment. Thanks to this NDT 3D scanner, the time spent in the ditch is shortened, making it an ideal solution for service companies that want to gain a competitive advantage.
COLOR ACQUISITION WITH THE GO!SCAN
COMMUNICATING YOUR INSPECTION RESULTS TO CUSTOMERS HAS NEVER BEEN THIS EASY
COLOR ACQUISITION
Pipecheck software, combined with the Go!SCAN SPARK, now supports textures and colours on 3D meshes. Critical information, such as surface finishes, drawn references and coating conditions, are now visually displayed right on the component’s surface within the Pipecheck software. Take your pipeline analyses to a whole new level with this handy new feature. Communicating your inspection results to customers is simpler than ever before.
- Faster acquisition
- Required less targets
- Tracking by color and texture
- Precision up to 100 micron
- High resolution
- Additional communication possibility by writing information on the pipeline
- More realism and better reporting for your customer

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.
- SCAN
- 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.
- SCAN
- ANALYSE
- REPORT

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.
Pipecheck supports inspections of cylinders with diameters of up to 152 m. This enables inspection teams to assess large cylindrical components, such as pressure vessels and distillation columns. Take advantage of all the benefits found in Pipecheck, including the virtual pit gauge, regardless of the size and diameters of the components to be evaluated.
Pipecheck supports multiple resolution levels within an individual scan. The multi-resolution functionality allows users to increase the resolution in specific damage area during data acquisition. Users can even lower the acquisition resolution for the rest of the scan where there is no damage. By doing so, it is easier to carry out larger scans without compromising on the resolution where it matters. Moreover, the multiresolution capabilities, when optimized properly, improve the acquisition speed and reduce the file size for a better overall user experience.
