Abstract: Pipeline integrity may be compromised when external corrosion occurs on in-service line pipe. Historically, pipeline operators have been limited by the techniques available to examine the extent of a corrosion feature, relying on the field inspectors experience and judgement. In addition, the techniques available to assess the severity of a corrosion feature can be subject to various discrepancies in measurement and interpretation prior to the engineered assessment. The documentation and data management of these anomaly areas can present limitations affecting or questioning the overall reliability and consistency of additional integrity assessment techniques. The Advanced Tool for Ultrasonic Mapping, affectionately known as ATUM, has been developed as a tool to provide consistent quantification and data management of external metal loss anomalies of line pipe steels.
