Pipeline Integrity Guidance Tool

A structured reference for evaluating pipeline defects and integrity conditions.

This tool provides structured guidance for evaluating pipeline defects and integrity conditions. It is designed to support engineering thinking, data collection, and early-stage assessment.

It does not replace professional engineering judgment, operator procedures, or regulatory requirements.

Beta notice: This tool is an active development (beta) version. Content, structure, and guidance may change over time and may contain errors or incomplete information. Users should not rely on this tool as a final or authoritative source and should apply professional engineering judgment and applicable procedures.

Data Quality / ILI Review

Data Quality / ILI Review

Data quality and ILI review is the workflow used to decide whether the inspection data are trustworthy enough to support a real engineering decision. In practice this means checking whether the reported feature, location, sizing, and classification are still inside the tool's qualified capability and whether the tool call is unified with field reality, prior runs, weld alignment, and any excavation history.

Dents

Dent

Dent guidance starts with geometric deformation but quickly moves into context: where the dent sits, whether it interacts with other threats, and whether shape alone understates the concern.

Metal Loss

General Metal Loss

General metal loss is the starting point for corrosion review when wall loss is reported but the practical question is still whether the feature is isolated, interacting, growing, or part of a broader integrity mechanism.

Girth Weld / Fabrication Issues

Girth Weld Anomaly

Girth weld concern helps organize review when an anomaly is on or near a girth weld and the engineer needs to understand whether weld interaction changes significance, data confidence, or next actions.
