Flawed pipeline spools for in-line inspection (ILI)

Flawed pipeline spools for in-line inspection (ILI)

“ILI Flawed Specimens” are specifically designed for inspection training in In-Line Inspection (ILI). These specimens are designed with defects that typically occur in pipelines — such as corrosion, erosion, cracks, or material loss — and provide realistic challenges for testing tools and methods. They are used in training, certification, and method validation for industrial pipe inspection.


Key features and benefits

  • Contains pipe segments with induced defects in various geometric shapes

  • Intended defects that mirror real failures in the pipeline industry

  • Suitable for use with ILI tools (ultrasound, electromagnetic methods, etc.)

  • Comes with documentation of fault location, size and interpretation data

  • Used for training, method development and validation of inspection instruments


Areas of application

  • Internal Pipe Inspection (ILI) in oil fields, gas pipelines, process plants

  • Training and qualification of ILI operators

  • Testing and calibration of inspection tools and sensors

  • Method evaluation and technical comparison of detection technologies
