Cleaning & Calibration

Pipeline cleaning and gauging for inspection programs

PIPECARE cleaning and calibration services condition the pipeline wall, remove internal deposits, and verify minimum bore for in-line inspection tools. Programs are scoped to the line content, deposit type, and ILI tool envelope.

Introduction

The foundation of every successful inspection

PIPECARE pipeline cleaning tool with brushes and sealing discs
A clean, gauged pipeline is the first requirement for high-confidence inspection data. Inadequate cleaning produces sensor coupling problems, blocked tool runs, and unreliable defect calls. PIPECARE designs cleaning programs that match the line condition to the inspection-tool operating envelope.
  • Removes deposits and obstructions
  • Improves flow and reduces pressure drop
  • Ensures tool passage and safety
  • Enables accurate inspection data
Threats We Detect

Internal conditions that affect inspection readiness

Before an in-line inspection run, the pipeline must be clean, accessible, and free from restrictions that may affect tool passage or data quality.
Wax & Paraffin Build-Up
Internal, external, and pitting metal loss
Scale & Solid Deposits
SCC, fatigue, or weld-related defects
Debris and foreign objects inside a pipeline requiring cleaning
Debris & Foreign Objects
Dents, ovalities, wrinkles, or buckles
Internal Restrictions
Wax, sludge, or debris buildup
Our Process

Step-by-step pipeline preparation

Each cleaning program is engineered to suit the product type, pipeline condition and inspection goal. PIPECARE’s structured approach ensures thorough internal cleaning while maintaining safe operations.
Assessment
Review line data, operating conditions, product type, previous runs, and expected deposit levels.
