WaveTrue Information

Using technology similar to RADAR, WaveTrue has created a unique non-invasive, long-range inspection method to locate and identify anomalies and unfavorable conditions of cased and insulated pipelines. Just as a RADAR system emits electromagnetic signals and waits for a response reflected from objects, our equipment sends pulsed waves into the space surrounding a pipeline and receives the responses which can then be located and identified. The pulses travel as waves lengthwise through the space that is bordered by the outside surface of the pipeline being tested, and the inside surface of the casing or insulating jacket. The inner and outer pipe serve as a guide for the waves as they travel through the annular space between the pipes. Variations in material densities and distortions in the shape of the annulus result in changes to the reflected signal that can then be analyzed to determine cause and location.
