Feasibility
Which type of sensor could detect damage?
UT
GW long range
GW short range
AE
Fibre optics
Etc..
Buried
Weld
Cap
Corrosion
Patch
damage, such as corrosion patches, cracks, etc.,
reflect a portion of the transmitted wave packet
back to the GW sensor in proportion to its cross-section

Inspection vs Monitoring
Inspection concentrates on covering
many areas
Monitoring concentrates on inspection of
critical or high risk/consequence areas
Monitoring can provide better sensitivity,
reliability and efficiency if appropriately
used

Multiple Readings
several readings are collected from each GW sensor

shieldCube automatically highlights zones of concern along the pipeline and reports the
estimated cross-sectional area loss rate, subject to:The desired confidence level.The
minimum cross-sectional area loss rate that is acceptable.
The algorithms of shieldCube guided wave monitoring have been extensively field
tested.It has been proven during field trials that:For a given number of readings,
shieldCube maximises the probability of detecting damage and corrosion.shieldCube
can predict in advance the minimum loss rate that can be detected within a given period
of time and with a given number of readings.

Intrusive Sensors
ER, LPR, Coupons, ILI, etc.
Corrosion Models
Data Fusion
Data Fusion is achieved by combining the effect
different measurements have on the PDFs at each
node.
imagine associating
probability density functions
to each node
Data Fusion
The result is a heat map of the most likely corrosion
rate, remaining wall thickness and pit depth at all
positions along the pipe, leveraging on all the
information from sensors and models.
