5-7-9 Crack Assessments

The integrity of pipelines is fundamental to safe operations, and crack assessment plays a pivotal role in ensuring this integrity. With evolving regulations and the ever-increasing complexities of pipeline networks, there’s a need for advanced methods to assess and manage crack defects.

PSQR

The determination of a pipeline’s burst pressure, especially in the context of metal loss anomalies, is a foundational aspect of pipeline integrity management. Recent advances in the pipeline industry have shifted from deterministic methods to more nuanced probabilistic approaches. ​

CEPA Surface Loading

The safety and sustainability of pipelines when subjected to external stresses is a primary concern in the industry. Surface loads, especially those from vehicles, can potentially cause stresses that compromise the pipeline’s structural integrity.

Cyclic Fatigue Analysis

Cyclic fatigue is a common concern in the management and maintenance of pipelines, especially for older infrastructure or those under constant dynamic pressure changes. As the industry has evolved, there’s been a pressing need for reliable tools to predict the life expectancy of pipelines under these conditions.

LaserSure™

Correlation of MFL based ILI predictions with locations of actual metal loss can be complicated when a high concentrationof metal loss features are present or complex shapes of metal loss are encountered. Both are known to introduce locating and sizing error due to the physics of magnetic flux leakage.

KAPA™

“KAPA” stands for “Kiefner & Associates Pipe Assessment”. It is a powerful tool specifically designed to calculate the estimated failure pressure of pipelines affected by various types of defects, including blunt metal-loss defects and crack-like defects
