Internal and External Pipe Cleaning
Removing the mud deposits, scale and rust from the drill pipe is a very important part of the inspection process. Many mud additives contain chemicals that if left on the pipe, can accelerate the effects of corrosion. Therefore, all pipe is thoroughly cleaned prior to inspection and coated with corrosion inhibitor following the inspection process.

Computerized Electromagnetic Inspection Services
Utilizing the latest in electronics design for all tubular inspections, Pinnacle was a pioneer in being one of the first companies to use this technology in the pipe inspection industry. At speeds of up to 100 feet per minute, pipe can be inspected both visually and electronically for defects and damages that may have occurred during the pipe's use.
Computerized Electromagnetic Inspection is the most thorough method of detecting cuts, gouges, O.D. wear, pitting, cracks, wall loss, diameter variations, and other defects. A solid-state electronics console with the most advanced hall sensors and solid-state electronics heads provides for greater accuracy in pipe evaluation in a shorter amount of time. Efficiency is obviously enhanced, and extensive down-time is virtually eliminated.

Ultrasonic End Area Inspection
This critical inspection helps prevent the potential problem of pipe breakage and subsequent washing out of the well. The process detects cracks and defects in the box end and pin end of the pipe. If a crack or defect is detected, an alarm sounds in the monitoring unit alerting the operator to the potential problem area of the pipe.
