Corrosion has become one of the main treats towards maintaining pipeline’s integrity. At the point of corrosion, the wall of the pipe becomes thinner and starts to lose its mechanical resistance. Methods for assessing metal loss defects have been available for many decades, as for instance the NG-1...
