ILI tools are inserted into the pipeline and propelled by the product flow or an external energy source to collect data on the pipeline's integrityThe capability of a pipeline to perform its intended function safely and reliably throughout its life. It includes a range of factors, including the structural … and identify potential defects or anomalies.
