PIPELINE INSPECTION

The present application provides techniques for inspecting a pipe (202), or rather measuring one or more characteristics of a pipe (202), using radiation (212). A carriage (102), mounted to the pipe (202), may provide a mechanism for propelling a radiation source (108) and a detector (110) along the...

Zusammenfassung:	The present application provides techniques for inspecting a pipe (202), or rather measuring one or more characteristics of a pipe (202), using radiation (212). A carriage (102), mounted to the pipe (202), may provide a mechanism for propelling a radiation source (108) and a detector (110) along the pipe (202). The detector (110) is configured such that it can receive radiation (212) that has traversed both a wall (218) of the pipe (202) and an obstacle, such as a pipe support (514). In this way, portions of a pipe that are traditionally difficult to inspect may be inspected easily with minimal human intervention.
