Pull Through Test

The document describes specifications for an in-line inspection of a 8" diameter pipe with a thickness of 14.27 mm and a length of 12.45 m. It discusses API standard 1163 for qualifying in-line inspection systems, including requiring accuracy specifications for sizing anomalies like metal loss. Schematics show the locations and dimensions of simulated defects added to the pipe at different clock positions for testing the inspection system.

API STANDARD 1163 SECOND EDITION, APRIL 2013

1 Scope

This standard covers the use of in-line inspection (ILI) systems for onshore and offshore gas
and hazardous liquid
pipelines. This includes, but is not limited to, tethered, self-propelled, or free flowing systems
for detecting metal loss,
cracks, mechanical damage, pipeline geometries, and pipeline location or mapping, The
standard applies to both
existing and developing technologies.

This standard is an umbrella document that provides performance-based requirements for ILI
systems, including
procedures, personnel, equipment, and associated software.

6.2.5 Sizing Accuracy

The performance specification shall clearly state the sizing accuracies for each type and
range of anomalies covered
by the specification. A sizing accuracy refers to how closely the reported dimensions agree
with the true dimensions.

Sizing or characterization accuracies shall include a tolerance (e.g. ±10 wt % or ±0.04 in. on
depth sizing) and a
certainty (e.g. 80 % of the time). The sizing or characterization accuracies, as a function of
anomaly type, should
include the following.
