Overview

Product overview

Pipescan HD is a hand-pushed magnetic flux leakage (MFL) corrosion-mapping scanner for ferrous pipes and surfaces. It combines corrosion and pitting detection with recorded inspection data, C-scan imaging, and reporting tools to support integrity assessments.

The system uses MFL with Hall effect sensors to detect missing magnetic material in the inspected component. Inspection requires no couplant and only limited surface preparation. Adjustable scanner heads accommodate specified pipe diameter ranges, with the largest model covering outside diameters from 127 mm to flat surfaces.

All scanned data is retained, allowing users to change reporting thresholds after inspection without discarding the original inspection record. Indications can be reviewed during scanning or after a scan or job, and completed reports can be transferred to a USB key for distribution.

Typical work includes oil and gas pipelines, manifold lines, dead legs, vessels, and terminal pipework, as well as power-generation service water, fire protection, and boiler piping. Compatible acquisition instruments include Swift-M and Reddy, with Reddy-32M specifically identified in the specifications.

Key Features

Key capabilities

Recorded C-scan imaging

C-scan images and full data recording provide a reviewable record of corrosion screening.

Rapid manual scanning

Hand-pushed inspection supports speeds up to 1 m/sec (40 in/sec).

Couplant-free deployment

Inspection requires no couplant and minimal surface preparation.

Adjustable curvature

A single curvature adjustment tool simplifies setup for different pipe sizes.

Adjustable reporting threshold

Reporting thresholds can be changed after inspection because all scanned data is recorded.

On-site reporting

A one-click reporting tool generates reports for transfer to a USB key after indication analysis.

Flexible analysis workflow

Users can analyze indications during inspection, at the end of a scan, or after completing a job.
