  1. Getting More From Your Intelligent Pig Inspection by Roland Palmer-Jones, Prof. Phil Hopkins, and Andre Goncalves Penspen Integrity PPSA Seminar Aberdeen 14 – Nov 2007

  2. The Problem • Intelligent pigs are widely used • Large quantities of data are collected • Defects are generally reported in a simple spreadsheet format. • Simple clustering and defect sizing leads to safe conservative assessments

  3. Outline • Inspection Technology • MFL • UT • Defect Sizing • Defect Assessment • ‘Complex Shape’ Assessment • Case Study

  24. Summary • Defect profile data gives assessment benefits • Profile data is collected anyway and so should be supplied in an accessible format with the inspection report.
