Pipeline assessment
software compatible
with UT devices
Creaform develops, manufactures
and sells 3D portable measurement
technologies, and specialises in 3D
engineering services. The company
has released Pipecheck 3.2, which
brings together NDT and NDE system
capabilities, such as 3D scan data
and ultrasonic testing (UT) into its
intuitive and powerful pipeline integrity
assessment software platform.
Compliant with the ASME B31G and
B31.8 industry standards, Pipecheck
enables the identification of potential
issues on both the inner and outer
linings of pipes, including corrosion,
dents or gouges in the metal.
Pipecheck now introduces true wall
thickness assessment analysis based
on the combination of various integrity
assessment technologies.
The idea behind Pipecheck 3.2 is to
combine the strengths of the best NDT
equipment into a single software to get
the most accurate and realistic damage
evaluation of the pipeline – both inside
and outside.
Other enhancements in this new release
include the ability to edit a scan in real
time, improving workflows by saving
time during data reconstruction for
increased field
efficiency. Section
tools can be used
to easily clean
artefacts that do
not need to be
analysed, such as
a flanges, welds
and valves, etc. Several improvements
were also made to increase the precision
and reliability of the inspection results.
Combined with the benefits of
Creaform’s metrology-grade 3D
scanners, the software contributes to
reducing potential human errors and
providing reliability that is beyond
current regulatory requirements.
“Pipecheck is the safest and fastest
solution for pipeline integrity assessment
on the market,” said Jérôme-Alexandre
Lavoie, product manager. “By opening
Pipecheck to other assessment
solutions, NDT service companies and
pipeline engineers can get more secure
and traceable analyses from which they
can extract more data to ensure the
safest assessment there is. It is the first
step to a new generation of pipeline
management solutions.”
Creaform offers solutions such as 3D
scanning, reverse engineering, quality
control, non-destructive testing,
product development, and numerical
simulation (FEA/CFD). Its products and
services cater to a variety of industries,
including automotive, aerospace,
consumer products, heavy industries,
healthcare, manufacturing, oil and gas,
power generation, and research and
education.
