Pipeline Operators utilize in-line inspection (ILI) technology as part of their pipeline integrity programs. The selection of the most appropriate tool depends on many factors, including the integrity history of the pipeline.

This paper will discuss all the factors to be considered by Pipeline Operators prior to selecting the most suitable ILI tool for a specific pipeline. An incorrect selection will result in ineffective data, wasted inspection resources and can even result in the non-detection of serious defects.
