PIPECHECK MECHANICAL DAMAGE SOFTWARE MODULE
ASME B31.8 compliant
To help non-destructive testing service companies and operators make the safest decisions, Creaform has integrated a mechanical damage assessment software module into Pipecheck. Combined with the HandySCAN 3D portable scanners, Pipecheck is the only NDT software on the market to offer a one-click button solution for strain-based assessments. Dents with stress risers can also be analyzed to separate the impact on pipeline integrity caused the dent from the ones caused by material loss. Some of the advanced functionalities featured in Pipecheck’s mechanical damage software module include corrosion in mechanical damage, ILI correlations and pipeline straightening operations.
KEY FUNCTIONALITIES
DEPTH-BASED ASSESSMENT TYPE
-
Automatic maximum depth measurement using straight edge technique in both directions
-
3D and 2D depth color maps
-
Automatic creation of 3D cross-sections
-
Depths over diameter ratio
-
Maximum diameter found at 90 degrees of the dent
STRAIN-BASED ASSESSMENT TYPE
-
Automatic maximum strain detection
-
3D and 2D strain color map (all strain components)
-
Results for decomposed values: circumferential bending, longitudinal bending, longitudinal extensional, effective strain on inside and outside surface of the pipe as well as maximum effective strain value
