Best in Class MFL In-Line Inspection
Cypress In-Line Inspection, LLC has taken full advantage of Moore’s Law to deliver the best ultra-high resolution MFL tools for smart pigging conditional assessment. Our team comprises a world-class team of professionals with decades of experience with in-line inspections.
Energy Pipeline Technical Specifications
The 
tools we offer utilize a proprietary new 1/8” spacing with an overlapping sensor head design. This design doubles the resolution of the industry’s typical ILI MFL tools. Other key advantages include:
As opposed to the industry standard of using disposable batteries, we use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. The batteries use a 24-volt system with a 135-degree Fahrenheit max temperature and a 90-hour run time before recharging.
The batteries we use are 18650s, which are a common cell size that is primarily utilized by Tesla.
The sensors used are the latest hall-effect sensor technology available in the market today. Each sensor head consists of 16 hall effect sensors with overlap capability for optimal coverage.
The 1/8” sensor spacing is the largest spacing, not the industry average.
The datal sample speed of the tool touts a 1408 Hz axial resolution to complement the hall effect sensors ultra high circumferential resolution.
The components our machinery uses include the following:
- Logical Data Modules
- Primary Sensors
- ID/OD Sensors
- Geometry Sensors
- HD IMU
- Master Unit
We are committed to providing the best tools to our clients. Our data storage units have the capability of 100 hours of run time on the tool.
This unit controls the batteries, the sensors, and everything else that the tool does.
We utilize the highest-quality materials in all of our tools. These include stainless steel that is completely resistant to H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide) and is very high strength.
We ensure that our customers are equipped with very consistent and accurate equipment. All of our equipment has a greater than 95% first-run success rate.
All of our ultra high resolution MFL ILI tools are 1.5D capable with minimum ID specs of 20% of OD.
Over the last 15 years, our data analysis software has been developed with cutting-edge technology. This provides you with the capability to quickly analyze high-resolution data.
Professional Experience
Our team of professionals has decades of experience operating smart pigs for many competitors. Our management team have worked in many parts of the world and we have built a diversified team with highly specialized skills including electrical and mechanical engineering, software development, operations, and data analysis. Cypress ILI undergoes a rigorous professional experience that includes: pipeline feasibility studies, pre-job meetings, kick-off meetings, Job Safety Analysis, field data reports, data quality assessments, project plans, and overall ILI execution excellence.
Providing Quality Tools
Our tools have high-speed processors that allow us to capture 20% more data than typical competitors while running up to 9mph. Our environmentally-friendly batteries have a total runtime of 100 hours between charges.
Data Analysis Services
Once an inspection run is complete, a field technician downloads data directly from the tool’s data modules to a laptop hard drive. The data remains in the tool module’s memory until it is specifically deleted by a user.
This usually occurs after the inspection has been completed and the analysts verify that they have all the pipeline data. The analyst takes raw data from the tool and converts it to a viewable format that interprets the results to complete the analysis.
