Ultrasonic Guided Wave Monitoring
The MsS ultrasonic guided wave technology uses ferromagnetic material probes (magnetostrictive effect) to generate mechanical elastic waves in the pipeline, propagating axially along the pipe. When encountering a change in wall thickness—whether an increase or decrease—a portion of the wave energy is reflected back to the probe. By analyzing variations in the received signal through specialized software, the size and location of defects can be determined. Circumferentially spaced probes ensure that guided waves propagate symmetrically along the pipe axis, with circumferential waves exciting the entire pipe wall, enabling 100% inspection coverage of the pipe body.

Application Scope

Aboveground exposed pipeline inspection in stations
Buried pipeline inspection in stations
Long-term monitoring of critical sections
