Pipeline assessment software for 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 scan-
ners, 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 assess-
ment 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.
