350 kilometres. One run. Every metre of your pipeline covered by the right in-line inspection tools.
IP Pipeline Technology offers a complete suite of in-line inspection tools and data analysis for onshore and offshore pipelines worldwide. PT Saka Nusa Persada supplies the tools in Indonesia, and they cover cleaning, geometry, metal loss, crack and stress inspection. In other words, one partner covers everything from 6″ lines up to 56″ trunklines.
Technology with Academic Roots
IP Pipeline has developed its inspection technology at Shenyang University of Technology since 1995. Since then, three decades of research and field runs have produced a family of eight ILI tools. As a result, each tool answers a specific integrity question.
Which In-Line Inspection Tools Fit Your Line?
Metal Loss: MFL and MFL+TFI
Magnetic flux leakage tools detect corrosion and metal loss. In addition, transverse field inspection (TFI) helps reveal axially oriented features that conventional MFL can miss.
Geometry: Caliper Tools
Caliper tools measure dents, ovality and other deformations, especially those that restrict flow or concentrate stress.
Crack Detection, Including Welds
Dedicated crack inspection finds cracking in the pipe body and welds before it grows into a failure.
Stress and Bending Strain Survey
Strain survey shows where ground movement or external loads bend the pipeline, so you can act early.
Unpiggable Lines: Self-Propelled In-Line Inspection Tools
No launcher or receiver, tight bends or low flow? If so, a self-propelled robotic tool inspects lines that conventional pigs cannot run through.

In-Line Inspection Tools, from Cleaning to Final Report
A successful inspection starts with a clean line. Therefore, our team supports the full campaign, from pre-inspection cleaning with Girard pipeline pigs to tool runs and integrity data. For crack and flaw detection with high-resolution mapping, see also Novitech MFL inspection. You can also learn more about pigging practice from the Pigging Products and Services Association.
Has nobody ever inspected your line, or does everyone call it unpiggable? Request a technical assessment, and then we will find the right tool for it.
