Dexon's UT-CS Hawk ILI System takes the spotlight in the 2023 Integrity Issue. "Crack Tip Diffraction Smart Pigging," unveils the groundbreaking use of high-density sensor arrays and angle beam tip diffraction intelligent pigging by Dexon. This innovation is set to revolutionise the detection and sizing of cracks and crack-like features in oil and gas pipelines, ensuring enhanced accuracy and detection capabilities for the industry.
In the relentless pursuit of industry excellence, Dexon Technology set out with a mission: to develop a market-leading smart PIG capable of detecting sub-1.0 mm cracks and crack-like features in pipelines, coupled with high-resolution wall thickness measurements. Cracks pose a significant threat to the structural integrity of oil and gas pipelines, making Dexon's breakthrough all the more crucial. Existing technologies excel at detecting corrosion and geometric anomalies, but the challenge lies in identifying and sizing critical cracks at an early stage. Dexon's UT-CS Hawk ILI System rises to this challenge, utilising an ultra-high-density sensor array with a combination of angle beam and pipe thickness transducers.
The heart of the innovation lies in the system's ability to achieve an unprecedented sampling density of 1,000,000 direct measurements per square metre of piping. This translates to a quantum leap in the accuracy of detection and sizing capabilities, ensuring early identification and mitigation of potential threats. Dexon's UT-CS Hawk ILI System leverages the power of intelligent pigging, surpassing traditional inspection methods in terms of accuracy, speed, and cost-effectiveness. The system's success lies in its high-density sensor array and sophisticated sampling resolutions, providing a meticulous analysis of defects. As the sampling density increases, so does the probability of detection and accuracy of sizing.
Dexon Technology PLC emerges as a trailblazer in the realm of intelligent pigging and asset integrity management. With an extensive global presence and a dedicated team of over 500 experts across five continents, Dexon is committed to pushing the boundaries of inspection technology. The UT-CS Hawk ILI System stands as a testament to Dexon's unwavering dedication to providing cutting-edge solutions that redefine the standards of pipeline integrity.
