N2 - Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) techniques are the commonly used methods in the inspection of oil pipelines. This technique presents several limitations in detecting cracks. In this paper we present a novel method using ultrasound waves to obtain 3-d images of pipeline inner surfaces. Using this technique, cracks on the inner surface of a steel pipeline were identified and measured.
