Abstract

Objectives: To review current and potential methods to identify scale, either wax, inorganic or corrosion deposits on the internal side of pipelines. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The study presents a literature review of the possible approaches for scale detection, using NDT approaches. Findings: We were able to review 94 papers on scale detection; this represents the complete literature on the subject. Application/Improvements: This paper serves as a single source of all potential methods of identifying pipeline scales.

Keywords: Corrosion, Pipeline Scale, 5Review, NDT
