Blueye X3 Equipment

831L Pipe Profiling Sonar

The 831L sonar is mounted in-front of the Blueye X3 and scans in 360 degree pattern to capture the profile of the pipe. The PipeSonarL software produce a 2D profile of a pipe or tunnel up to 12 meters in diameters. During inspection this allows your to see the ovality of the pipe, detect defects or measure sediment build up.

The DVL A50 can be combined with the PipeSonarL software to act as a cable counter, giving you the data you need to produce a 3D model of the pipe.
