Technology

KMD-02R is designed for non-contact magnetometer diagnostics of underwater pipelines at depths up to 1200 m. Complexes of non-contact diagnostics are developed on the basis of three-component magnetoresistive nanofilm sensors that allow to measure conditions of high electromagnetic interference.



System KMD-02R:

  1. Is completely passive - do not emit electromagnetic or other radiation and do not have any effect on the object under investigation;
  2. Does not require changes in the pumping mode of the product
  3. Does not require pipeline preparation for inspection.


Technology

Before starting work our specialists together with ROV technical team install the device on the device with maximum distance from its metal parts. In the process of diagnostics ROV with the device connected moves along the pipeline route. At the moment of measurement the received data are transmitted via cable to the ROV control center located on the accompanying ship. If it is technically possible, verification diging is carried out based on the diagnostics results in order to obtain more accurate information about the pipeline and to improve the quality of processing. Further, the analytical center performs a multi-profile data analysis using artificial intelligence technologies. Based on the results, a report on the technical condition of the pipeline is prepared.
