Non-destructive testing of cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) is an important procedure for verifying the integrity and quality of newly installed or renovated pipes using CIPP technology. This technology is often used to repair or build pipelines, especially sewer and sewer systems. Testing ensures that the liner liner (CIPP) has been successfully installed and that the pipe will perform its function reliably without the need for further repairs. Next, we will present some possibilities of using non-destructive testing methods. After the CIPP is installed, a camera is inserted into the pipe to allow visual inspection of the liner fill. This can identify any defects, tears or other problems in the CIPP material. Compressed air or water testing is used to verify that the mattress pad can withstand pressure. The pipe is filled with air or water under a certain pressure and then monitored for leaks or deformations. Acoustic methods are used to detect cracks or leaks in pipes. Special sensors can pick up sound signals emitted by leaking liquids. The magnetic resonance method uses magnetic resonance to examine the condition of the lining fill and pipe walls. It provides detailed information about the material and the quality of the installation. Ultrasonic probes can be used to inspect CIPP for cracks, faults or variations in material thickness. X-rays or gamma rays can be used to obtain detailed images of the inside of the pipe and the lining fill. The choice of appropriate methods depends on the specific situation and project requirements. Non-destructive testing is essential to ensure the safety and functionality of CIPP lined pipelines and reduces the need for additional repairs and maintenance.
