Self-propelled intelligent inspector completes baseline inspection

IP PIPELINE TECHNOLOGY's self-propelled intelligent inspector has successfully completed the baseline inspection for Natural Gas Pipeline project. Covering a total of 1,253 kilometers of pipeline in the Shandong and Jiangsu sections, this innovative technology has provided a crucial guarantee for the pipeline's safe and efficient operation.

In the baseline inspection of the new pipeline, the self-propelled intelligent inspector offers several advantages over traditional intelligent calipers:

First, it can crawl independently inside the pipeline, eliminating the need for compressed air, nitrogen, or pressurized water as a power source. This not only saves costs but also makes it easier to inspect large-diameter and long-distance pipelines.

Additionally, its autonomous crawling ability makes it more convenient to deploy immediately after the section is pressure tested and dewatered, without the need to wait for the installation of launcher, receiver, and main valves.

The self-propelled inspector is also equipped with a high-performance power control system that enables it to autonomously crawl uphill and downhill, ensuring consistent inspection speeds and high-quality data. Compared to traditional inspection methods that rely on compressed air, nitrogen, or pressurized water as a power source, the self-propelled inspector is less prone to blockages and has lower risks.

"We are pleased to announce the successful completion of the baseline inspection in the Shandong and Jiangsu sections of natural gas pipeline," said the spokesperson of IP PIPELINE TECHNOLOGY. "Our self-propelled intelligent inspector is the result of years of research and development, and we are confident that it will continue to play an important role in pipeline inspection and maintenance in the future."

The self-propelled intelligent inspector's success in this project demonstrates its effectiveness in providing efficient and reliable pipeline inspection. As a result, it is expected to be a game-changer in the pipeline industry, offering better quality data and more stable inspection speeds while also reducing costs and risks.
