US pipeline solutions provider TD Williamson (TDW) has launched a four-inch inspection tool capable of capturing comprehensive metal loss and geometry data in a single run. The magnetic flux leakage, deformation, and internal vs external discrimination tool normally requires a minimum operating pressure of 20.7 bar (300 psi), but TDW said it can function in lower flows. “TDF is proud to be the first company to offer this new tool,” said John McGranahan, president of TDW.

The tool is designed to produce accurate data, even when faced with navigating tight bends and speed excursions.
