Inspection Services

KAEFER In­su­lated Pipe Scan (KIPS) is a portable, real-time radiographic imaging system that scans through insulation to assess the condition of underlying pipes. It captures video and images to detect issues such as corrosion, moisture, and ice, with results recorded instantly for immediate analysis.

KIPS provides a quick and accurate condition assessment without removing insulation, saving time and reducing costs. It can test pipes up to 200m per day, ranging from 20mm to 1,200mm in diameter and insulation from 10mm to 150mm, across temperatures from -200°C to 700°C. The system works with various insulation materials, including fibreglass, mineral wool, and fireproofing materials, and supports testing in any location using rope access.
