Method of EMA-control of pipelines with insulation coatings

Non-destructive testing of piping in operation is an urgent task, requiring development of new methods of control, oriented to the current condition of the plants. Control of welded joints in this respect is an area, which is relatively well-developed and specified in detail. As regards control of the pipe y, i.e. sections between welds, ability to control them is limited, in view of their large extent and presence of various anticorrosion and insulation coatings.
