Notes on Lin Scan Caliper Performance Specifications

Specifications are valid for defect in straight pipe Specifications are valid for achieved tool velocity between 0.2 and 3 m/s Specifications are valid for tool acceleration up to 3 m/s2 Specifications are valid for sufficiently clean pipelines (as per LIN SCAN cleaning criteria) Caliper sensors must be in contact with pipe wall and odometer wheels should not be clogged Specifications are valid for specific temperatures not exceeding maximum temperature indicated on the tool data sheet If the actual minimum detection depth of features is less than stated above, these features will be reported as analyzed. In such cases, the sizing accuracies may not be achieved. Specifications are subject to change according to specific requirements.
