NDT Global, a leader in advanced inline inspection technologies, has partnered with Aramco to launch the industry’s largest 56-inch ultrasonic inline inspection tool. Designed to meet the specific needs of large-diameter pipelines, this innovative tool enhances the detection, sizing, and characterization of cracks and metal loss anomalies, offering unparalleled accuracy and safety.
Traditionally, magnetic flux leakage (MFL) and caliper-based inspection methods have been used for large-diameter pipelines. However, through close collaboration with Aramco, NDT Global has developed a cutting-edge ultrasonic tool that surpasses conventional methods, ensuring precision and reliability in pipeline inspections. This new tool enables operators to navigate complex pipeline networks while maintaining the highest standards of integrity and operational efficiency.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Aramco on this milestone innovation,” said Nathan Leslie, Vice-President of Product Management at NDT Global. “Our advanced ultrasonic inline inspection technology, combined with Aramco’s infrastructure, is setting a new benchmark for the industry in terms of safety, reliability, and predictive maintenance.”
The 56-inch ultrasonic tool is part of NDT Global’s commitment to advancing pipeline inspection technologies. By leveraging this innovative solution, operators can obtain actionable insights for predictive analysis, long-term risk management, and overall asset health optimization, supporting safer pipeline operations worldwide.
