In‑Service Pipeline Inspections with LineCAT +

 

TesTex utilizes the LineCAT + pipeline inspection system to perform high‑resolution internal/external inspections while pipelines remain fully operational. This technology enables comprehensive condition assessments without the need for shutdowns, or product removal.

 

LineCAT+ Capabilities:

  • Internal/External corrosion mapping
  • Wall loss detection
  • Inspection of coated pipelines

 

By keeping pipelines in service, operators avoid costly downtime while still obtaining the data needed to make informed integrity decisions.

Crack Detection with BFET—While the Line Is In Service

 

TesTex also provides pipeline crack detection using Balanced Field Electromagnetic Technique (BFET). This advanced electromagnetic inspection method is specifically suited for identifying crack‑like defects in ferromagnetic materials.

 

BFET Benefits:

  • Detects surface‑breaking and near‑surface cracks
  • Effective on pipelines under normal operating conditions
  • No shutdowns or depressurization required
  • Ideal for fatigue, SCC, and weld‑related cracking concerns

 

BFET adds a critical layer of insight for operators managing aging infrastructure or high‑risk pipeline segments.
