The most dangerous pipeline defect is the one nobody has found yet. Hence, operators turn to MFL in-line inspection.
Novitech MFL in-line inspection travels inside your pipeline to locate cracks, flaws and metal loss long before they become leaks or ruptures. Moreover, the tool works from the inside, so you see the full length of the line rather than a few dig sites. PT Saka Nusa Persada brings Novitech inspection and mapping services to pipeline operators across Indonesia.
How MFL In-Line Inspection Finds Cracks and Flaws
Magnetic flux leakage (MFL) tools magnetise the pipe wall as they travel through the line. Wherever damage or thinning weakens the wall, the magnetic field leaks, and the tool sensors record it. Novitech then combines this proven principle with micron ILI technology and high-resolution mapping. As a result, integrity engineers get precise data on what is happening inside the pipe and exactly where.
What Makes Novitech Different
- MFL crack and flaw detection: industry-leading, especially for the defects that matter most.
- High-resolution mapping: so you can locate every anomaly accurately along the route.
- micron ILI technology: Novitech also keeps developing its tools, with an emphasis on exceptional service.
- Threat and anomaly identification: clear findings, so you can prioritise repairs with confidence.
- Decades of ILI experience: in addition, the team brings deep pipeline-integrity expertise.
- Strong customer partnerships: because every service aims to meet or exceed client expectations.

Get Your Line Ready for Inspection
A clean line produces better data. Therefore, our in-line cleaning services prepare your pipeline before the run, while CIPS and DCVG surveys complete the picture from the outside. For large diameters or unpiggable lines, also explore the IP Pipeline Technology ILI tool suite. You can read more about the technology at Novitech.
