THE MOST ACCURATE PIPELINE ASSESSMENTS WITH NDT 3D SCANNERS

As the standard for portable metrology-grade 3D scanners, the HandySCAN™ 3D delivers accurate and repeatable results in all work conditions, whether under direct sunlight or in harsh environments. Not only can service companies fully trust HandySCAN™ 3D’s reliable data but they can also count on its speed to take measurements, deliver results, and complete inspection quickly and efficiently. The HandySCAN™ 3D is your go-to NDT solution for pipeline inspections.

THE ULTIMATE 3D SCANNER FOR SURFACE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT

The MAX series offers the fastest and easiest 3D scanning experience for NDT technicians inspecting pipelines for various types of damage, particularly corrosion. The MAX series is designed for measuring large objects, offering fast, metrology-grade accuracy for objects up to 15 metres, while retaining fine detail capture on smaller areas, with up to 75% fewer targets needed.

VXIntegrity™

VXIntegrity™ Pipecheck, also known as simply Pipecheck, is a software module within the VXintegrity™ platform by Creaform. It's specifically designed for non-destructive testing (NDT) of pipelines, using 3D scanning technology to assess their integrity and identify potential issues.

Corrosion analysis: Identifies and measures corrosion spots with high accuracy, even on complex geometries.
Denting analysis: Detects and quantifies dents caused by mechanical damage, offering a more efficient solution than traditional tools.
Wrinkle analysis: Calculates the depth and extent of wrinkles on pipelines, providing valuable insights into their structural integrity.
Reporting tools: Generates detailed reports with visuals and measurements, simplifying data analysis and decision-making.
Fast and efficient: 3D scanning with Pipecheck allows for rapid data acquisition and analysis, minimizing inspection downtime.
