Pathfinder Foam Caliper

Data Logging & Testing

PATHFINDER FOAM CALIPER

Offered in partnership with Cramlington based Pipeline Innovations, the Pathfinder Foam Caliper has been developed for the first stage assessment of operational pipelines prior to the use of metal-bodied pigs.

With over 90 runs since 2012 and a 98% first run success rate, the Pathfinder has a proven track record and has been used in a wide range of product environments and applications.

Information from the tool is used to identify the location and the size of a localised bore restrictions in the line, allowing informed decisions to be made on the appropriate types and configurations of pigs to be deployed to clean or inspect a pipeline.
