Creaform develops, manufactures and sells 3D portable measurement technologies and specialises in 3D engineering services, and is represented in the corrosion, non-destructive testing and pipeline markets by Russell Fraser Sales.
According to Creaform, 3D laser scanning is emerging as the most efficient alternative to manual measurements. Not only is the system fast, but results are recordable and ready for easy email transmission from the field to other locations.
Around the world, the Creaform Pipecheck solution is becoming the new industry standard for denting and corrosion inspection. It offers a user-friendly interface with full analysis and reporting generated automatically in the field.
Comprising the Handyscan 3D laser scanner, code-compliant Pipecheck 2 software, and rugged field pack with eight hours battery autonomy, the Creaform Pipecheck system is ready to go anywhere.
Pipecheck provides depth measurements for corrosion and mechanical denting with a resolution of ±50 microns. Additionally, the Creaform system can measure pipe for ovality to ensure optimum welding matching.
The Handyscan 3D laser system has been used for other measuring applications for over ten years in areas such as metrology, reverse engineering, body scanning and more.
The Pipecheck system has been developed around ASME B31G to give direct correlation to the standard. Data can be collected up to ten times faster than traditional methods and this data is recorded for future reference.
With the latest addition of mechanical damage measurement to the Creaform 3D laser scanner’s corrosion analysis capabilites, Pipecheck is fast becoming the new benchmark for external pipeline analysis.
