Overview: This paper describes the procedure for determining the size of a defect using tri-axial sensors, and illustrates the benefits of magnetic modelling of these defects. These benefits include a better understanding of what the defect signals are dependent upon and superior sizing accuracy. In-line Magnetic Flux Leakage inspection tools are used to detect and size corrosion defects in order to determine the extent of metal loss present in a pipeline. The data derived from the runs is then used for the purpose of evaluating pipeline integrity.
