Baker Hughes has broadened its pipeline service portfolio to
include circumferential magnetic flux leakage (MFL) inspection
technology, which enables pipeline operators to identify anomalies in
pipeline long seams and more effectively manage the risk associated with
cracks in long seam welds and the overall integrity of their pipeline
assets. Baker Hughes recently acquired the assets and
circumferential/transverse field (TFI) MFL technology of Intratech
Inline Inspection Services Ltd. With circumferential MFL inspection
technology, Baker Hughes Process and Pipeline Services group can assist
operators with locating specific pipeline seam threats, such as hook
cracks, lack of fusion and long narrow-axial corrosion. The
circumferential MFL technology will now be produced in the larger
diameter pipeline sizes, complete with speed control and inertial
navigation capabilities, www. bakerhughes.com.
