3D Corrosion Analysis with Full Surface Coverage and Virtual Pit Gauge
Unlike the pit gauge, pipeline measures both internal and external corrosion and provides complete 3D visualization for in-depth analyses. Once corroded surfaces are digitalized, the algorithm simulates a virtual pit gauge that covers the whole surface.
Extraction is measured as with the manual tool but with higher accuracy. The technique ensures 100% surface inspection coverage, better repeatability, and traceability over time.

Denting and Mechanical Damage Detection with Automatic 3D Depth Analysis
Pipeline provides key NDT pipeline inspection functionalities, including the automatic detection of maximum depth and size—difficult to find with traditional measuring methods. Once the surface is digitalized, pipeline computes the pipeline's diameter, curvature, and circumference for automatic defect detection and measurement.

Wrinkle Analysis with 3D Crest-to-Trough and Diameter Calculations
Pipeline’s wrinkle analysis module is programmed to calculate the crest-to-trough depth of the ripple in addition to the wavelength, circumferential extent, and diameter restriction—enhancing the quality of pipeline inspection analyses and reporting. By fitting a perfect cylinder on the damaged pipe, pipeline finds the highest and lowest points of the wrinkle and extracts the depth wavelength of the damaged area.

BURST PRESSURE LEVEL III SIMULATION
Creaform's burst pressure simulation generates a 3D visual report of the digitized surface. It calculates stress, displacement constraints, and burst pressure (with its location) based on triaxial strain analysis. This allows asset owners and service companies to clearly visualize the constraints and limits on their operating pipelines.

Advanced pipeline inspection functionalities
-
Assessing material loss from deformation is now easy with pipeline software. The NDT solution offers sophisticated tools and functions to extract corrosion depth inside a pipe’s mechanical damage.
-
Pipeline monitors ILI performance levels by correlating smart-pig data against pipeline 3D scanning or imported UT data. The interface has been optimized to compare features' depth, length, and width in just one click.
-
Pipeline supports the inspection of cylinders with diameters of up to 152m to enable inspection teams to assess large cylindrical components, such as pressure vessels and distillation columns.
Which 3D scanner is right for you?
"With the HandySCAN 3D scanner and pipeline, we can carry out measurements over the entire length of the pipe and process them in the shortest possible time. Well-founded decisions can then be made based on our results. By using these 3D measurement technologies, we have increased our capacity, we're able to take on more orders, acquire new customers and offer a broader range of services."
