If a pipeline is underwater, it’s difficult to be inspected. But the MsS dry coupling tool makes the underwater pipeline inspection possible. The photo below shows a MsS dry coupling tool installed onto a underwater pipeline. The adapter and Lemo connectors are connected underwater and the dry coupling tool squeezes out water between the MsS probe and pipe surface to ensure proper coupling. The MsS probe is designed to generate torsional mode (shear particle motion) in a pipe and can inspect long distance with very low attenuation in low viscosity water. The MsS probe is very useful for inspecting pipelines in river, lake, or flooded area without removing water from the outer surface of the pipeline.
