We often hear that clients find it difficult to determine which inspection technique is best suited for the concerns or problems they are currently experiencing. That is why we have created the Tech Comparison. With the help of this Tech Comparison, you are able to choose the inspection tool that is best suited for your pipeline issues or worries.
A Tech Comparison is a clear overview in which Acquaint’s different inspection techniques are being compared. You can see which failure mechanisms are assessed with which inspection tool in combination with the material(s) of your pipeline network.
This Tech Comparison makes it extremely easy for you to choose the right inspection technique. Thus, you can be sure that you are not spending money on an inspection that does not reveal the desired outcomes. The Tech Comparison is also ideal for tactical use of the techniques. For example, in the Tech Comparison, you can see that the Acquarius detects all failure mechanisms of all types of materials. So why choose another inspection tool?
Sometimes it is not necessary to do a whole inspection run. If you know where the critical points are in the pipe, you can also choose to perform spot measurements with the Pipe Scanner. It is probably no surprise that a complete inspection run with the Acquarius costs more money than a number of spot measurements with the Pipe Scanner. A combination of the inspection techniques is most effective. Once you have mapped the condition of the entire pipeline by means of an inline inspection, you can perform spot measurements whenever and wherever you want with our external inspection tool.
As you can see, the Tech Comparison is a clear table showing all our inspection techniques at the top. On the left, the materials of which your pipeline can consist of are listed. To find out which inspection tool is best for your pipeline network, first click on the right material. This is the material your pipe consists of. Subsequently, you will see that the table expands, now you can see all failure mechanisms that belong to this particular type of material. Under the names of our inspection techniques, you will now see ticks and crosses. Do you see a tick at a certain failure mechanism in combination with an inspection tool? Then this failure mechanism is inspected with the relevant inspection technique. Is there a cross behind the failure mechanism underneath a certain tool? This means that the inspection tool does include the inspection of this failure mechanism. Click here to try it yourself: Solutions – Acquaint
