Any inspection tool can produce a report. Proving that report is accurate down to the exact location of every defect, is a different challenge entirely and one that matters enormously when a client is deciding whether to trust your data over an incumbent provider's.

In this case study, we share how Cokebusters' single-bodied UT tool, fitted with an integrated odometer for precise axial positioning, was deployed on a 1,853-metre subterranean multiphase pipeline in Europe and how the results stood up against independent verification.

What You'll Learn

Why axial positioning accuracy matters as much as defect detection itself, and what happens when the two aren't properly correlated
How Cokebusters' integrated odometer system cross-verifies measurements using multiple independent wheels and hall-effect sensors
The calibration process used to eliminate compound positional error over long pipeline lengths
How the client independently verified Cokebusters' reported defects and locations against data from their existing inspection provider and the outcome of that comparison
Why this makes single-bodied tools a credible, cost-effective alternative to large multi-bodied assemblies for pipelines under 12 inches, including those previously considered unpiggable
