Inspection of Power Line Insulators
2022Insulators are power transmission line components responsible for two key tasks: the first one is to support the mechanical stress originated by the weight of the cables and devices, and the second one is to avoid electrical dissipation from the cables to the tower structure.

CORROSION 1991, 1991
Abstract Owners of railcars and lessees responsible for the maintenance of linings in railcars are turning more and more to inspection of the lining application to ensure that premature failures do not occur in service. This is particularly true when the service is corrosive and/or product purity is a major consideration.

In Line Inspection of Geotechnical Hazards
Volume 2: Pipeline Integrity Management, 2014Four North American pipeline operators and a pipeline inspection company have been working together on a research project assessing the feasibility of using an electromagnetic non-contacting strain measurement tool capable of being deployed during ILI inspection to measure axial strain in pipelines. The axial strain sensor is the TSC StressProbe. It is

Development of novel integrated in-line inspection techniques for pipeline inspection
SPIE Future Sensing Technologies, 2020This paper proposes a new, low cost, and high sensitivity smart pipeline inspection gauge (smart PIG) that integrates different in-line inspection (ILI) techniques to inspect the pipeline defects such as dents, metal loss or corrosions. The proposed ILI techniques include: (1) optical sensor (based on photoconductivity); and (2) bimorph sensor (based ...

Aerial infrared line inspection
1999 Rural Electric Power Conference (Cat. No. 99CH36302), 2003The aerial infrared inspection of power lines is an effective technique used by electric utilities to identify high resistance connections that may lead to line outages. This paper discusses the type of equipment used, inspection intervals, costs, benefits, limitations and optimal use of this inspection technique.

In-Line Inspection Tool Selection
CORROSION 2004, 2004Abstract Pipeline Operators utilize in-line inspection (ILI) technology as part of their pipeline integrity programs. The selection of the most appropriate tool depends on many factors, including the integrity history of the pipeline. This paper will discuss all the factors to be considered by Pipeline Operators prior to ...
