Fully compatible with Sonatest’s ultrasonic testing instruments, Pipecheck is the only solution that enables the identification of potential issues on both the inner and outer surfaces of pipes, whether those issues are corrosion, dents or gouges. This, together with the strengths of the market’s best NDT equipment, Pipecheck’s single software solution gives the most accurate and realistic damage evaluation of a pipeline.
Sonatest’s global distributor network can now offer the Pipecheck solution to the company’s ever-growing pipeline corrosion assessment market. In addition, with Pipecheck, Sonatest will continue its expansion into other sectors, including nuclear plants and geothermal facilities, where corrosion and erosion caused by water vapour travelling at high speeds have become a huge problem.
Jonathan Turcotte, Sonatest’s Product Manager explained “We were very impressed by Pipecheck’s performance and accuracy - as well as its amazing simplicity and ease of use.” “Thanks to a basic three-step workflow, SCAN – ANALYZE – REPORT, our clients’ field technicians can quickly gain access to the vital information they need to make critical decisions and ensure both compliance and community safety.”
Jérôme-Alexandre Lavoie, Product Manager at Creaform, added, “Pipecheck is an excellent complement to Sonatest’s current ultrasonic data acquisition solutions, helping clients to increase their assessment efficiency in the field. With Sonatest’s powerful flaw detectors and Creaform’s comprehensive and intuitive Pipecheck software, operators and inspectors need look no further than this joint solution for all their pipeline assessment needs.”
Creaform and Sonatest will be demonstrating Pipecheck, at the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT)’s annual conference in Long Beach, California from October 24-27, 2016.
Visitors can stop by Creaform’s booth 508 and Sonatest’s booth 831 for more details.
