Laser Profilometry with Creaform HandySCAN 3D

Laser Profilometry with Creaform HandySCAN 3D™ is an advanced technology used for inspecting the external surface of pipelines. It utilizes three-dimensional laser scanning to capture high-resolution images of the pipeline’s surface geometry, allowing for precise measurements and defect detection. These tests are valuable for assessing the condition of pipelines, detecting anomalies, and ensuring their structural integrity.

Metal pipelines form a sizeable portion of critical infrastructure transporting vital fluids in many industries. Ensuring pipeline integrity for safety and efficiency requires ongoing sophisticated testing using the latest technologies. Defects or issues detected early can be remedied much easier and faster before catastrophic failures occur.

Circle B Non-Destructive Examination uses two advanced NDT testing methods for laser profilometry on external pipeline surfaces. Our skilled specialists perform these tests as part of ongoing infrastructure reviews or at clients’ request on newly constructed or repaired pipelines as part of your company’s overall pipeline maintenance strategy.

Laser Pipeline Surface Testing

Circle B Integrity NDE specialists utilize advanced portable lasers to assess your pipelines to detect levels of corrosion, material strength, and other essential factors in pipeline integrity. Here’s a brief overview of the two assessments we use.

  • OD Corrosion Mapping and Assessment
    Laser Profilometry with Creaform HandySCAN 3D for OD (outside diameter) corrosion mapping and assessment is a cutting-edge technique using laser scanning technology to create detailed 3D maps of the pipeline’s outer surface. The laser precisely detects and measures types and levels of corrosion and other defects that are areas of concern.

  • Dent Mapping and Strain Calculation
    Laser Profilometry with Creaform HandySCAN 3D for dent mapping and strain calculation employs laser scanning to create detailed 3D maps of dents or deformations on external pipeline surfaces, allowing for accurate measurement and characterization of areas where excess or undue strain could cause problems with pipeline integrity.

Advanced laser technologies help ensure that your critical pipeline infrastructure uses the quality materials required to meet industry standards for safety and efficiency. Circle B NDE specialists use these tests to determine pipeline materials’ mechanical strength, structural integrity, and chemical composition after construction or repairs.
