Kraken’s advanced direct imaging technology empowers operators to fully understand the shape, size and morphology of anomalies and their root cause before digging.
Kraken detects and sizes the most challenging defects – the ones missed by other tools.
Measure axial discontinuities that are extremely short or shallow, hooked, mid-wall, grouped in colonies like SCC, in welds, and in heat-affected zones (HAZ).
Clearly identify wall loss from through-wall to sub-mm deep defects like pinholes, microbial pitting, wall thinning, and corrosion.
Understand changes in pipe wall geometry like dents, ovality, gouging, weld misalignments, and deformations.
Kraken leverages the latest developments from in-the-ditch based handheld systems, medical imaging, and lab-quality NDT to deliver a step-change in resolution, probability of detection, and sizing accuracy – all at full line speed.
“High-Resolution Acoustic ILI: Triple-Threat Detection in a Single Pass” introduces high-resolution direct imaging, details its validation, and highlights data from field runs with Flint Hills Resources.
