Abstract
High pressure steel pipelines are an important part of our infrastructure. A wide range of flaws, such as corrosion or cracking, can affect these pipelines, degrading their integrity and leading to reduced lifetimes, severe ruptures or fatal errors. To ensure safe and economical operation, as well as to prevent failures, periodical assessments of the pipeline integrity are mandatory. In-line inspection (ILI) is accepted as the optimum approach, detecting and qualifying flaws as well as revealing growth rate information of active flaws. This chapter describes diverse measurement principles and associated non-destructive evaluation (NDE) systems for certain flaws to be inspected, while highlighting methods for the detection and characterization of pipeline corrosion. Operational information, data analysis and integrity aspects complete this overview of ILI capabilities.
