Total Visibility for Critical Piping Networks
Pipeline integrity requires a dual-pronged approach. Our pipeline inspection tools are engineered to detect wall loss, cracking, and corrosion regardless of access limitations. Whether you are navigating the interior of a 60” water main or scanning the exterior of a 6” insulated steam line, Russell NDE provides the specialized electromagnetic and visual hardware required to ensure long-term structural certainty.
PICA Pipeline Inspection and Condition Analysis Corp. www.picacorp.com provides pipeline inspection services using Russell’s in-line inspection tools.
Our internal tools are designed to traverse complex geometries while maintaining high signal-to-noise ratios.
External corrosion is often hidden beneath layers of insulation or cladding. Our external pipeline inspection tools eliminate the need for costly insulation removal or “windows.”
The I-PIT can not operate in standing or flowing water as it can affect the stability of the signals. For the most accurate RFT signal, we recommend lstatic conditions.
Yes. Our standard Bracelet Probes tools can scan insulated high-temp lines without requiring a shutdown. This allows for real-time CUI monitoring while the facility remains at full production.
Our See Snake ILI Tools are designed with articulating modules specifically to navigate standard long-radius elbows. For tighter bends we can provide specialized small-chassis units.
Our flexible Bracelet Probes are adjustable. We offer configurations that can accommodate pipes as small as 6 inches (150mm), including insulation thickness, and scale up to large-diameter mains, ensuring full coverage regardless of size.
The electromagnetic data is compared against a calibration standard of the same material and wall thickness. We provide a categorized report showing the remaining wall (as a percentage of nominal) and the exact GPS or footage location of every significant defect.
