UT Data Analysis

Software “opens up” the pipeline B Scan Shows C Scan Shows

to display the data in an easy Wall Thickness Defect Location
to understand format. In Pipeline Circumference

B Scan Data

The B-scan display produces a view of the test object that looks as if it
were cut through and turned on its side to show in cross section
whatever internal reflectors or opposite surface conditions exist.
SYN-GE-FRM-900 Rev 1, Presentation, 28-Dec-18
C Scan Data

• The C-scan display uses a plan view.

• The received signals are converted to variations in color.

MFL Inspection Principle

A defect will generate a variation in magnetic signal, which is

related to size and depth of the defect.
