subject: How effective is pipeline inspection and turbine inspection? [print this page] Due to the sheer length of the pipelines, it is not feasible to examine them manually. Therefore, the inspection crew uses a method known as Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) that utilizes the inductive properties of magnets to determine pitting and corrosion in pipelines. The corroded areas in the pipeline are segregated and are then subjected to a powerful magnetic field. The area with high corrosion will register absence of flux lines.
