Foreword
Since the transportation of hydrocarbons by pipeline began in the 1860s, the primary means of
establishing pipeline integrity has been through the use of pressure testing. These tests have been
most often performed upon completion of the construction of the pipeline. The completed pipeline
segment has been pressurized to a level equal to or exceeding the anticipated maximum operating
pressure (MOP). Government regulations have recently specified the test pressures, test media,
and test durations that must be achieved for pipelines to be permitted to operate within their
jurisdictions. However, until very recent history, there have been no such requirements for
pipelines to be periodically tested for integrity. Some pipeline operators have traditionally
performed periodic integrity assessments in a variety of forms with varying degrees of success.
In the mid-l960s, pipeline operators began to use a form of instrumented inspection technology
that has evolved into what is known today as in-line inspection (ILI). ILI is but one tool used in
pipeline integrity assessment. The technology has now become so reliable that it holds a
prominent place in many operators’ integrity programs because when properly applied, ILI provides
many economies and efficiencies in integrity assessment at a relatively small risk.
This standard recommended practice outlines a process of related activities that a pipeline operator
can use to plan, organize, and execute an ILI project. Guidelines pertaining to ILI data
management and data analysis are included. A key companion guide to this standard is NACE
International Publication 351 OO.’
This standard is intended for use by individuals and teams planning, implementing, and managing
ILI projects and programs. These individuals include engineers, operations and maintenance
personnel, technicians, specialists, construction personnel, and inspectors. Users of this standard
must be familiar with all applicable pipeline safety regulations for the jurisdiction in which the
pipeline operates. This includes all regulations requiring specific pipeline integrity assessment
practices and programs.
This NACE standard was prepared by Task Group 212 on In-Line Nondestructive Inspection of
Pipelines. Task Group 212 is administered by Specific Technology Group (STG) 35 on Pipelines,
Tanks, and Well Casings. This standard is issued by NACE International under the auspices of
STG 35.

Section 1: General
1.1 This standard is applicable to carbon steel pipeline
systems used to transport natural gas, hazardous liquids
including anhydrous ammonia, carbon dioxide, water
including brine, liquefied petroleum gases (LPGs), and other
services that are not detrimental to the function and stability
of ILI tools.
1.2 This standard is primarily applicable to “free-swimming”
ILI tools but not tethered or remotely controlled inspection
devices.
1.3 This standard provides recommendations to the
pipe I i ne ope rato r based on s uccessfu I, i nd ustry-prove n
practices in ILI.
1.4 This standard is specific to the inspection of line pipe
installed along a right-of-way, but the general process and
approach may be applied to other pipeline facilities such as
hydrocarbon distribution and gathering systems, water
injection systems, station piping, and isolated crossings of
railroads, highways, or waterways.
Section 2: Definitions
Aboveground Marker (AGM): A portable device placed on
the ground above a pipeline that both detects and records
the passage of an in-line inspection tool or transmits a
signal that is detected and recorded by the tool.
Anomaly: A possible deviation from sound pipe material or
weld. An indication may be generated by nondestructive
examination, such as in-line inspection.
B-Scan: A cross-sectional display of a test object formed
by plotting the beam path lengths for echoes with a preset
range of amplitude, in relation to the position of beam axis
(in ultrasonic testing), or the values of the measured
magnetic field (with magnetic flux leakage [MFL]), as the
probe is scanned in one direction only.
Batch, Batching: Separated volume of liquid within a
liquids pipeline or of liquid within a gas pipeline. Sealing
(batching) pigs are typically used for separation.
Bellhole: An excavation to permit a survey, inspection,
maintenance, repair, or replacement of pipe sections.
Caliper Pig: A configuration pig designed to record
conditions, such as dents, wrinkles, ovality, bend radius and
angle, and occasionally indications of significant internal
corrosion, by sensing the shape of the internal sutface of
the pipe (also referred to as geometry pig).
Chainage: Position of a point along the pipeline, typically
taken from a fixed reference such as a valve.
Check Valve: Valve that prevents reverse flow. Can cause
damage to ILI tools if not fully opened.
Cleaning Pig: A utility pig that uses cups, scrapers, or
brushes to remove dirt, rust, mill scale, and other debris
from the pipeline. Cleaning pigs are utilized to increase the
operating efficiency of a pipeline or to facilitate inspection of
the pipeline.
Corrosion: The deterioration of a material, usually a metal,
that results from a reaction with its environment.
Crack, Cracking: Very narrow elongated defects caused
by mechanical splitting into parts.
Data Analysis: The process through which indications
recorded in an ILI are evaluated to classify, characterize,
and size them.
Defect: An anomaly for which an analysis indicates that the
pipe is approaching failure as the nominal hoop stress
approaches the specified minimum yield strength of the pipe
material.
Detect: To sense or obtain a measurable ILI indication
from an anomaly in a pipeline.
Distribution Line: A gas pipeline other than a gathering
line or transmission line (see U.S. Code of Federal
Regulations, Title 49, Part 192).’
Electric Resistance Weld (ERW): Weld formed by
resistance heating of the two edges of a pipe and then
forcing them together to create a weld.
Fatigue: The phenomenon leading to fracture of a material
under repeated or fluctuating stresses having a maximum
value less than the tensile strength of the material.
Feature: Any object detected by an ILI tool during the
petformance of an inspection run. Features may be
anomalies or indications, pipeline valves and fittings, nearby
metallic objects, or other items.
Gauging Pig: A utility pig mounted with a flexible metal
plate, or plates, of a specified diameter less than the
minimum internal diameter of the pipeline. Pipe bore
restrictions less than the plate diameter or short radius
bends will permanently deflect the plate material.

the interior of the pipe using an in-line inspection tool. Also
called intelligent or smart pigging.
In-Line Inspection Tool: The device or vehicle that uses a
nondestructive testing technique to inspect the pipeline from
the inside. Also known as intelligent or smart pig.
Interaction Rules: Specifications that establish spacing
criteria between anomalies or defects. If the indications or
defects are proximate to one another within the criteria, the
anomaly or defect is treated as a single larger unit for
engineering analysis purposes.
Kicker Line: Piping and valving that connects the
pressurizing pipeline to the launcher or receiver.
Launcher: A pipeline facility used to insert a pig into a
pressurized pipeline, may be referred to as pig trap.
Leak: A small opening, crack, or hole in a pipeline causing
some product loss.

magnetized material, such as the wall of a pipe, into a
medium with lower permeability, such as gas or air.
Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI): A nondestructive
examination technique for locating sutface flaws in steel
using fine magnetic particles and magnetic fields.
Mapping Pig: A configuration pig that uses inertial sensing

visual, leak testing, eddy current, and acoustic emission.
Nondestructive Testing Technique (NDT Technique): A
specific way of utilizing a particular nondestructive testing
method that distinguishes it from other ways of applying the
same nondestructive testing method. For example,
magnetic testing is a nondestructive testing method while
magnetic flux leakage and magnetic particle inspection are
nondestructive testing techniques. Similarly, ultrasonics is a
nondestructive testing method, while contact shear-wave
