Information

AimThe course will provide an introduction into the subject and importance of pipe-line inspection with a focus on internal inspection using in-line inspection tools.Delegates will be introduced to the differ-ent non-destructive testing technologies used in in-line inspection tools as well as their specific strength and weaknesses.

The course provides a broad overview of tools commercially available today for the inspection of traditional and challeng-ing pipelines in the onshore and offshore sector. Inspection procedures and report-ing will be introduced, with a focus on typical content of Final Reports and the further use of inspection data.

The course is ideally suited to introduce the subject of in-line inspection, also as a foundation for the special in-line inspec-tion tracks of the Pipeline Technology Conference.

Target GroupManagers responsible for pipeline integ-rity, Pipeline Engineers, Technicians or other interested personnel from opera-tors. Engineering Consultants active in the field of NDT and Integrity Assess-ment. Personnel from the authorities or certification bodies involved with pipeline inspection and assessment and licensing.

Course Content

1 IntroductionIntroducing the course and the role of In-Line Inspection as part of the Pipeline Integrity Assur-ance process

2 Defects in PipelinesIntroducing typical defects and their geometries in pipelines as well as identifying at which stage in the pipeline life they usually appear. Geometric anomalies, metal loss and cracks will be discussed

3 Pipeline InspectionAn overview of pipeline inspec-tion methodologies, internal and external, with a special focus on internal inspection for traditional and challenging pipelines

4 Non-Destructive Testing Tech-nologiesA brief overview of the non-destructive testing technologies utilized for In-Line Inspection, including magnetic flux leakage, ultrasound and eddy current technologies

5 Pipeline Inspection ToolsA comprehensive overview of the internal inspection tools com-mercially available today, cover-ing traditional and challenging pipelines

6 Pipeline Inspection Procedures and ReportingA brief look at the inspection procedures used during an ILI project, as well as introducing and explaining the analysis and reporting process. Overview of current reporting standards and how ILI data can be further used

Lecturer

Dr. Michael Beller, ROSEN Group, Germany

Dr. Beller has worked in the pipeline industry for over 25 years now. After receiving his Master´s degree in Mechani-cal Engineering from the University of Karlsruhe, Germany, he joined the Research Center Karlsruhe where he car-ried out research work for his Phd. thesis on the behaviour of cracks in pipeline steels. In 1988 he joined Preussag AG in their pipeline construction division and in 1991 Pipetronix GmbH, a former subsidiary of Preussag specialized in pipeline inspection utilizing in-line inspection tools. At Pipetronix Dr. Beller held various positions in the Engineer-ing, Sales and Marketing departments, including the position as Marketing Manager. After the merger with Pipeline

Integrity International he was appointed Group Training Manager for the PII Group. Michael joined NDT Systems & Services AG in 2001, where he held the position of Corporate Marketing Manager.

In June 2013 he joined the ROSEN Group as Director Corporate Strategy Pipelines within the Corporate Marketing Team.

Michael has published more than 80 technical papers on the issues of pipeline inspection and integrity and is also co-author of a German standard book on Pipeline Inspection Technology. Michael is a former president of the International Pigging Products & Services Association and is currently a member of the editorial boards of the Journal of Pipeline Engineering and the PetroMin Pipeliner, both published interna-tionally. In 2006 he also became a member of the founding board of the Professional Institute of Pipeline Engineers.

Dr. Beller has been delivering training courses to the pipeline industry for over 10 years now covering pipeline inspection, pipeline integrity and material defects in pipeline steels and is also a lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences in Karlsruhe, where he teaches Material Science and Technical Mechanics.
