In-line Inspection Services for Corrosion
RoCorr Service Suite
Undetected and untreated corrosion within your pipeline assets will lead to performance loss and containment failure. Making in-line inspection (ILI) services a part of your integrated pipeline threat management strategy will help you manage this risk. Our RoCorr Service Suite is designed to detect, evaluate and locate metal loss due to corrosion and associated threats. This allows you to take remedial action before your pipeline integrity suffers.
Drawing on the largest ILI tool fleet in the world, our RoCorr features multiple and flexible options to suit your inspection needs while minimizing impact on pipeline operations. This includes a wide range of sensors that incorporate leading technologies to address your pipeline threats. The data gathering is supported by our unique data analysis and reporting tools, delivered by a dedicated team of experts. RoCorr reduces your corrosion and metal loss threat risk.
Your benefits of our RoCorr Service Suite

Multiple sensor technologies to identify all metal loss threats
Assess the integrity of your onshore and offshore pipeline assets
In-line high-resolution metal loss detection and sizing
Our magnetic flux leakage technology is the optimal choice for reliably identifying and characterizing external and internal metal loss features. Magnetic flux leakage technology is especially suited for the detection of corrosion, erosion, gouging, lamination, pitting and other metal loss features. Our MFL-A technology forms a strong foundation for your asset’s lifetime integrity management.
- Full recording of raw data for lifetime integrity management
- High-quality certified processes, qualified personnel and equipment across the globe
- Minimizing the impact of inspections on daily operations through:
• Speed control units to maintain full production flow during inspection
• Combined diagnostics solutions to reduce the number of inspection runs required by combining technologies in one ILI tool
Benefits of magnetic flux leakage technology
- No need for coupling medium, so optimally suited for accurate inspection of gas and multiphase pipelines
- Ideally suited for identification and characterization of external and internal metal loss
- Availability of a wide range of tool sizes, combinations with other measurement technologies and multi-diameter tools allow for tailored solutions

In-line ultra-high resolution metal loss detection and sizing
Our MFL-A Ultra Service offers an ultra-high resolution approach that overcomes the historically conservative evaluation of metal loss. The MFL-A Ultra Service identifies pinholes down to one millimeter in diameter. It also defines the exact structures of defects, such as complex corrosion. Machine-learning systems and Finite Element Modeling (FEM) bring new standards in data evaluation for ultra-precise results delivery.
- Superior integrity assessment through enhanced accuracy
- Reduction of unnecessary and costly dig ups
- Ultra-precise evaluation of sizeable data volumes
- Reducing the number of inspection runs required by combining technologies in one ILI tool
- Maintaining full production flow during inspection through speed control units
Benefits of MFL-A Ultra Service
- Improved sizing accuracies enable most accurate integrity assessments to reduce conservatism and significantly reduce unnecessary digs
- Superior pipeline and defect imaging through enhanced MFL technology with ultra-high definition sensors
- Detailed insights into a breadth of defect morphologies and different corrosion types such as pinhole in pit and pinhole colonies provided by ultra-high resolution sensors
- Enhanced sensor suspension for smoother girth weld passage overcomes long-standing industry limitations
- Well-proven tools deliver consistent data quality with a first run success rate of 95%

In-line high-resolution metal loss and narrow axial feature analysis
Fundamental to pipeline integrity management is an understanding of axially oriented anomalies such as channeling, top-of-line corrosion (TOLC), gouging, narrow axial corrosion and selective/preferential seam weld corrosion (SSWC). Our MFL-C technology has proved highly reliable and effective for managing such integrity concerns in your pipelines. This is particularly suitable to assessing the integrity status of long seams, especially for pre-1970 electric resistance welded (ERW) pipes.
- Suited for characterization of challenging metal loss features in liquid, multiphase and gas pipelines
- Wide range of proven tool configurations available
- Option to deploy Ultra resolution to further improve reliability of SSWC assessment
Benefits of narrow axial feature analysis
- Reliable assessment of SSWC
- Precise evaluation of axially oriented corrosion anomalies, such as channeling, top-of-line corrosion (TOLC), gouging
- Precise characterization of long seams
- Proven tools deliver consistent data quality with a first run success rate of 95%
- Fewer inspection runs possible by combining technologies in one ILI tool
- Full production flow during inspections thanks to speed control units

In-line high-resolution metal loss detection and sizing
Liquid pipelines are susceptible to corrosion, lamination, pitting, seam weld corrosion and other metal loss anomalies. Our RoCorr UTWM technology, which uses industry-leading and accepted ultrasound technology, is ideally suited for detecting the incidence and breadth of these anomalies as part of a structural integrity management program.
- Accurate classification and sizing of corrosion anomalies
- Raw data forms basis of lifetime integrity management
- High-quality service offered in line with API 1163
Benefits of UTWM technology
- Highly accurate data regardless of defect orientation
- Reliable assessment of mid-wall defects and laminations, even in extra heavy wall pipelines
- High-resolution measurement delivers RSTRENG-compliant river bottom analysis
- Unique combination of UTWM and MFL technologies on one ILI tool has additional benefits (e.g. less sensitive to wax or debris, improved POD, POI and sizing accuracy)

In-line high resolution internal metal loss detection and sizing
Extra heavy wall pipelines – typically found in offshore applications – often need to operate at higher pressures. This makes identifying any internal corrosion an early-stage imperative. Our eddy current technology uncovers the incidence of shallow internal corrosion by coupling the application of high-density eddy current sensors with high sampling rates. In addition, extra heavy wall
pipelines also require very collapsible in-line inspection
tools to pass through them. Equipped with our well-proven RoGeo XT geometry tools, our eddy current sensors offer optimum passage options.
- Accurate, reliable detection of internal corrosion
- Outstanding bend and passage capabilities
- High-precision mapping under tough operating conditions
Benefits of IEC technology
- Optimally suited for gas and multiphase lines, as our eddy current technology eliminates the need for a liquid medium
- Captures geometric profile data for advanced integrity assessment of deformation
- Assessment of shallow internal corrosion, general wall thinning, bottom line erosion and pipeline deformations in one ILI tool run
- Highly flexible and collapsible ILI tool, which is also suitable for challenging pipeline designs, e.g. with tight bends or extra heavy pipe walls
- Multi-diameter ILI tools available upon request

Data evaluation and reporting
Gathering accurate and complete data for the detection and identification of corrosion anomalies is just one component of a successful and comprehensive pipeline corrosion management strategy. Precise data evaluation, conclusive reporting and meticulous analysis play an equally important role in order to turn these data into knowledge.
By applying AutoData, which deploys machine-learning, adaptive algorithms that are calibrated using high-resolution 3D laser scans of real pipe defects, we ensure that the evaluation algorithms continuously evolve during their application and therefore constantly improve the quality of their results. This leads to a significant increase in defect sizing accuracy.
