EMAT
Our New Generation: Q-INLINE EMAT Low-Pressure Gas Pipeline Inspection Technology
Our new EMAT Crack ILI tool provides superior navigability. It is ideal for low-pressure, difficult-to-inspect metal and composition pipelines. Our unidirectional, mode-controlled guided waves resolve signal congestion issues allowing for improved flaw detection and sizing accuracy in small-diameter pipelines.
- Distribution Mains
- Gathering Pipelines
- Cased Crossings
- Transmission Pipelines
Specifications:
- Serviceable ID: 8, 10, 12, and 14-inch diameters commercially available from Q3 and Q4
- ILI Forms: Tethered or free-swimming; differential from 50 psi to maximum pressure 2200 psi.
- Pipe Geometry: Up to 1.5D bends, S-shaped curves, and 20% plane and full-bore restrictions
- Run Length: Up to 100 miles / bidirectional capable
- In Pipe Transition: Low drag for smooth transitions through bends to minimize pressure spikes.
- Tool Engineering: ~ 6- foot with only two sensor modules + 3 battery/encoder modules.
Threat Detection Capabilities:
- Improved Circumferential Coverage: “Zero” blind spots
- Multi-Crack Detection: Axial, hook, and cracks in dents
- Discriminate between crack and non-crack line flaws
- Acoustic operating mode agile for different wall thicknesses.
- High operating power for lossy coatings as needed.
- Cleaner Data to Analyze: Reduced spurious signal generation and unidirectionality processes clearer signal and readings.
