Pipers® mide la densidad de flujo magnético (MFD) dentro de las tuberías utilizando uno o varios sensores pasivos de flujo magnético triaxial. En tuberías no metálicas, Pipers® mide el campo magnético de la Tierra a menos que haya accesorios metálicos, manguitos u otros elementos magnéticos característicos presentes a lo largo de la tubería.
Steel pipelines are often magnetized due to factors like industrial processes, transport, and the Earth’s magnetic field. This magnetization has two primary components:
Magnetic Flux Density (MFD) measurements can be used to determine the level of magnetization. MFD measures the strength and direction of a magnetic field at a given point, which is equivalent to the density of magnetic field lines passing through a specific area.
The MFD is proportional to the volume of metal, which means it can be used to assess the volume of pipeline metal at a given location. For instance, areas with fittings will typically have higher MFD readings due to the additional metal, whereas areas with wall thinning will show lower MFD readings due to the reduced metal volume.
Although this method has a lower resolution compared to conventional Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) measurements, the benefit of using MFD measurements is that the pipeline doesn’t have to be cleaned ahead of the inspection and that pipelines that can’t be inspected with conventional MFL tools can be inspected with MFD tools.

Pipers® registra todos los sonidos mientras se mueven con el flujo a través de la tubería, lo que los hace sensibles incluso a las fugas más pequeñas.
Pipers® utiliza un sensor acústico para identificar las firmas de datos únicas de las bolsas de aire/gas dentro de la tubería.
Pipers® inspecciona la tubería en condiciones operativas, lo que lo convierte en una herramienta ideal para confirmar la contención sin interrumpir las operaciones.
Pipers® toma 100 mediciones de presión por segundo mientras se desplaza a través de la tubería, lo que permite una localización precisa de los depósitos.
Pipers® mide continuamente la presión proporcionando un método altamente detallado para determinar la línea de nivelación hidráulica.
Pipers® sirve como una solución intermedia entre las pruebas hidrostáticas y las herramientas de inspección en línea convencionales (es decir, cerdos inteligentes), ayudando a los operadores a mantener sus tuberías seguras.
Pipers® mide la densidad de flujo magnético en una tubería, lo que permite la localización de cualquier accesorio o carcasa metálica en una tubería no metálica.
Las tomas de agua, especialmente aquellas ilegales, conllevan riesgos importantes para la integridad, la seguridad y la eficiencia operativa de las tuberías.
Cuando se combina con raspadores de limpieza disponibles comercialmente Pipers® proporciona el ángulo de curvatura, el radio y la dirección.
La solución de inspección en línea Pipers® de INGU brinda una manera eficiente y económica de proteger la integridad de su tubería y promover un rendimiento optimizado. La tecnología proporciona a los operadores una visión completa de todos los activos de las tuberías en todas las condiciones, lo que les permite tomar decisiones bien informadas para mantener sus tuberías seguras y eficientes.
