INLINE INSPECTION TOOL TRACKING Application
Inline inspection tools are used to assess pipeline condition and remove accumulated debris, but they can become stalled in long pipeline networks and be difficult and expensive to locate. As part of the OptaSense Pipeline Monitoring platform, the Inline Inspection Tool Tracking application monitors tool progress and helps operators quickly identify the location of a stalled device.
Locate inline inspection tools fast and affordably
By tracking the acoustic signature of an inline inspection tool, the OptaSense Inline Inspection Tool Tracking application follows the device’s progress throughout the pipeline network. Supported by the OptaSense Fiber Sensing Data Ecosystem, the application detects the pressure pulses produced as the tool passes through girth welds, enabling operators to quickly identify the location of a stalled device from a considerable distance.
