The U.S. Department of Justice has proposed allowing Enbridge Energy not to perform some in-line inspections on Line 5 for at least 15 years, stating pressure tests conducted in 2017 are sufficient to ...

Electromagnetic transducer technology in-line inspections are sufficiently sensitive to detect crack-like features as part of pipeline integrity management. Gas and liquid pipeline operators are ...

Relying solely on end-of-line testing isn't enough when security, traceability, and mission reliability are vital.

In the last two decades, results obtained from structural reliability analysis (SRA) have increasingly led to formation of strategies for future safe operation of corroding oil and gas pipelines. 1-8 ...

Error-proofing uses individualized setups to inspect a part while it is still in production. Gage selection for in-line inspection depends on variables such as part type, production specifics, ...

Up to 30,000 PET bottles per hour per blow molding machine outfeed can be inspected and monitored with the PETWall thickness monitoring system. It is designed to detect deviations in material ...

The integration of LiDAR technology into power line inspection has revolutionised the monitoring and maintenance of critical energy infrastructures. By utilising laser-based remote sensing, engineers ...

Bottom line: NDT is the primary means to find, size, and monitor defects in pipelines without taking them out of service, enabling risk-based decisions that prevent leaks and ruptures. I.I Purpose — ...

Full-blown process excursions that affect every wafer are comparatively easy for fabs to detect and fix. However, “onesie-twosie,” lower-volume excursions can go unresolved for months or even years.

Motorists filling up at the Thorntons in Third Lake last year had a one in three shot of getting a pump that wasn't dispensing the right amount of fuel. Annual records from the Illinois Department of ...
