Advanced Technology

Advanced Technology

Our UT ILI tools emit high-frequency sound impulses that travel through liquid products into the pipeline wall. Reflections from the pipe surfaces are captured to identify deviations and accurately measure wall thickness. 3P Services has been offering UT inspections since 2016. We can offer tools from 3” to 48”, with specialized configurations for bi-directional operation and extreme conditions.
