Acquaint’s smart inline inspection tools are equipped with ultrasonic sensors. These sensors can measure as many as 10 different failure mechanisms, including leaching in asbestos-cement pipelines. Leaching in asbestos-cement pipes occurs because calcium, found in the material, slowly dissolves in water. This causes the strength of the pipe to deteriorate, with all the necessary risks. Acquaint’s inline inspection tools, with their ultrasonic sensors, are ideally suited for measuring the degree of leaching in an AC pipeline.
