ILI History In 1961, the first intelligent pig was run by Shell Development. It demonstrated that a self-contained electronic instrument could traverse a pipe line while measuring and recording wall thickness. The instrument used electromagnetic fields to sense wall integrity. In 1964 AMF Tuboscope ran the first commercial instrument. It used MFL technology to inspect the bottom portion of the pipeline. The system used a black box similar to those used on aircraft to record the information, basically a highly customized analog tape recorder. Until recently, tape recording (although digital) was still the preferred recording medium. As the capacity and reliability of solid-state memory improved, most recording media moved away from tape to solid state.

General Definition Anomaly. Any kind of imperfection, defect, or critical defect that may be present in the wall of the pipe Batching Pig. A utility pig that forms a moving seal in a pipeline to separate liquid from gas media or to separate two different products being transported in the pipeline Bellhole. An excavation in a local area to permit a survey, inspection, maintenance, repair, or replacement of pipe sections Buckle. A partial collapse of the pipe due to excessive bending associated with soil instability, land slides, washouts, frost heaves, earthquakes, etc. Class Location. A criterion for pipeline design set by the Code of Federal Regulations. Class 1 is rural and Class 4 is heavily populated. A class location is based on the number and type of buildings situated in an area that extends 220 yards on either side of the centerline of any continuous 1-mile length of a pipeline Cleaning Pig. A utility pig that uses cups, scrapers, or brushes to remove dirt, rust, mill scale, or other foreign matter from the pipeline. Cleaning pigs are run to increase the operating efficiency of a pipeline or to facilitate inspection of the pipeline. Configuration Pig. An instrumented pig that collects data relating to the inner contour of a pipe wall or of the pipeline. geometry pigs, camera pigs, and mapping pigs are types of configuration pigs. Corrosion. General External - Metal loss due to electrochemical, galvanic, microbiological, or other attack on the pipe due to environmental conditions surrounding the pipe. General Internal - Metal loss due to chemical or other attack on the steel from liquids on the inside of the pipe. Electrochemical attack can also occur in local cells, but this condition is less frequent. Pit - Local concentrated-cell corrosion on the external or internal surfaces that results from the generation of a potential (voltage) difference set up by variations in oxygen concentrations within and outside the pit. The oxygen-starved pit acts as the anode and the pipe surface acts as the cathode. Stress Corrosion Cracking - A progressive intergranular and/or transgranular cracking that results from a combination of applied tensile stress, cathodic protection currents, and a suitable corrosive environment.

7 GE Title or job number 4/18/2013


General Definition Cracks. Fatigue - Progressive cracking in the base material, weld, or weld zone that is caused by pressure cycling or oscillatory stresses associated with the operation of the system. Girth Weld - Cracks in the weld or weld zone of the butt welds that connect sections of pipe. Seam Weld - Cracks in the weld or weld zone of the longitudinal seam weld of the pipe. Selective Corrosion - A localized corrosion attack along the bond line of electric resistance welds (ERW) and flash welds (FW), that leads to the development of a wedge shaped groove that is often filled with corrosion products. Critical Defect. As used in this text, a subset of defect, for which an analysis, such as ASME B31G, would indicate that the pipe is approaching failure at pressures equal to maximum operating pressure or the maximum allowable operating pressure for the pipe. Dent. A local depression in the pipe surface caused by mechanical damage that produces a gross disturbance in the curvature of the pipe without reducing the pipe wall thickness. Erosion. Destruction or removal of material by abrasive action of moving fluids (or gases) usually accelerated by the presence of solid particles or matter in suspension. Evaluation. A review, following the identification of an anomaly, to determine whether the anomaly is a False Call. An indication from an inspection that is classified as an anomaly where no imperfection, defect, or critical defect exists. FERC. Federal Energy Regulatory commission. Flux. The (scalar) number of flux lines crossing a unit area at right angles to the unit area. See magnetic flux.

8 GE Title or job number 4/18/2013


General Definition Flux Density. (1) A measure of the intensity of magnetization produced by a magnetic field. (2) A vector quantity representing the number of flux lines crossing a unit area at right angles. Flux Leakage. The flow of flux out of a magnetic material, such as the wall of a pipe, into a medium with lower permeability, such as gas or air. Gauging Pig. A utility pig that is permanently deformable by obstructions in the pipeline and thus, upon retrieval from the line, provides evidence of the worst-case obstruction in a given pipeline segment. Gel Pig. A utility pig that is composed of a highly viscous gelled liquid. These pigs are often used for pipeline cleaning and are sometimes called gelly pigs. Geometry Pig. A configuration pig designed to record conditions, such as dents, wrinkles, ovality, bend radius and angle, and occasionally indications of significant internal corrosion, by making measurements of the inside surface of the pipeline. Gouge. Local damage caused by mechanical or forceful removal of metal from a local area on the surface of the pipe that may work harden the pipe and make it more susceptible to cracking. Gouging. The process of creating a zone of mechanical damage that includes cold working, residual stresses, plastic distortion, and (generally) moved or removed metal. Hard Spots. Local changes in hardness of the steel in the pipe resulting from non-uniform quenching procedures during the manufacture or changes in chemistry of the steel. Hard spots, when stressed, are subject to failure from mechanisms, such as hydrogen-stress cracking. Holidays. Discontinuities in a coating, such as pinholes, cracks, gaps, or other flaws, that allow areas of the base metal to be exposed to any corrosive environment that contacts the coating surface. Hydrostatic Retesting. Proof testing of sections of a pipeline by filling the line with water and pressurizing it until the nominal hoop stresses in the pipe reach a specified value.

Pipeline


What are Pipeline? Where are They? The energy transportation network of the United States consists of over 2.5 million miles of pipelines. That's enough to circle the earth about 100 times. These pipelines are operated by approximately 3,000 companies, large and small. network includes approximately: • 175,000 miles of onshore and offshore Hazardous Liquid pipeline; • 321,000 miles of onshore and offshore Gas Transmission and Gathering pipelines; • 2,066,000 miles of Gas Distribution mains and service pipelines; • 114 active LNG Plants connected to our gas transmission and distribution systems; and Propane Distribution System pipelines. Most hazardous liquid and gas pipelines are buried underground. are located underground in rights-of-way (ROW) . Pipelines play a vital role in our daily lives. Cooking and cleaning, the daily commute, air travel and the heating of homes and businesses are all made possible by the readily available fuels delivered through pipelines.


Pipeline Pigs? Purpose? Pigs are run to maintain line efficiency. Any decrease in pipeline efficiency reduces the throughput of a pipeline. Pipeline pigs are capsule shaped objects/devices that are inserted and travel throughout the length of a pipeline driven by product flow

• cleaning the inner walls of the pipeline by sweeping & pushing action • batching for line filling, dewatering, separation of products and liquid removal

• Gauging & In Line inspection

Pig Tracking & AGM Placement Pig Tracking’ is used as a generic term which covers any pipeline inspection requirements to monitor the movement or location of the pig(s) during the pigging operation. PIG SIGNALLING is a method of indicating when the pig has reached a certain point in the pipeline. This is usually achieved by attaching a triggering device, transmitter or ‘signaler’.


Pig Tracking & AGM Placement PIG LOCATING is a method of determining the position of a pig, normally when it is stationery due to it being either held up or stuck (due to damage or obstruction). This normally requires the pig to carry a transmitter device of some kind and a receiver to be carried along the line to locate it. PIG TRACKING is a method of literally following the path of a pig either continuously or, more likely, by locating it at a series of predetermined points. This can be achieved by various methods including transmitter/receiver systems, mass balance via computer calculations, and by acoustics.


Pig Tracking & AGM Placement The AGM reference sites are used to measure to anomalies in the pipeline. Typical ILI odometer accuracy is +/- <0.5%, and chaining with conventional methods is usually accurate to +/- <0.1%. This creates a maximum expected error of +/0.6% on measuring anomalies from the AGM site (although this number is typically around +/-0.2%). Measuring one mile from an AGM can result in a worst case of 31.7’ of error (0.6% x 5,280’). This requires that AGMs sites be created every one to two miles along the pipeline, ensuring that the longest measurements are kept to one mile in length, with a worst case error of <32’.


PIPELINE MARKER MAGNETS Pipeline Marker Magnets was the primary method for ILI reference marks in the 1970’s. Today they are still used by pipeline inspection pigging operators to provide absolute position, or waypoints, along the pipeline that can be coordinated with the inspection log generated by an intelligent pipeline pig.


PIPELINE MARKER MAGNETS The thickness of the pipe wall as well as the stand-off created by galvanic or corrosion resistant coatings and insulation dictate the required magnetic flux density and pole spacing required to provide sufficient magnetic field for detection of the marker by the intelligent pig inside the pipeline. Whether you are inspecting exposed pipeline, buried pipeline or Subsea Pipeline


ABOVE GROUND MARKER (AGM) A portable or permanently installed device placed on the surface above a pipeline that both detects and records the passage of an in-line inspection tool or transmits a signal that is detected and recorded by the tool.


ABOVE GROUND MARKER (AGM) Reference locations for above-ground markers, when utilized, shall be established and validated to ensure they are sufficient to meet the location accuracy stated in the performance specification. The service provider sets the appropriate tool detection threshold on the above-ground markers to ensure proper detection.


ABOVE GROUND MARKER (AGM) AGM’s, when utilized, are placed as close as practical to the planned reference locations defined by the pipeline operator. The actual location of the AGM is measured and documented. If the AGM is not placed at the planned reference points, the actual locations is identified and documented.
