Mistras Group, Inc. announce recent innovative technological advancements to its integrated pipeline integrity and inspection solutions. Along with member-company Onstream Pipeline Inspection and brands New Century Software and Integrity Plus, MISTRAS continues to provide technology to help maximize pipeline safety and compliance. MISTRAS' latest proprietary automated radiographic testing (ART) Crawler ?

used exclusively to differentiate the company's pipeline inspection services offering ? has been designed in a lighter-weight package, enabling single-person inspections with reduced deployment times. MISTRAS' ART inspection services are an accurate way to check for abnormalities in insulated aboveground piping and pipelines from 2-30 inches in diameter, even in lines with product flowing through them.

MISTRAS member-company Onstream™ Pipeline Inspection has innovated their flagship ILI tool, the TriStream MFL™, to detect metal loss in lines up to 36 inches in diameter. Onstream is also launching variable speed control technology that minimizes the interruption to pipelines during the inspection process. The combination of ultra-high resolution triaxial sensors and expertly-developed algorithm technology results in more accurate defect sizing data for a wider range of pipelines.

These updates to the TriStream MFL™ are designed to help pipeline operators gain a more complete understanding of true pipeline conditions while reducing unnecessary digs and costs.
