[54] IN-LINE INSPECTION DEVICES
[57] Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include In-Line Inspection devices, methods to perform in-line inspections of pipeline and protective casings, and methods to determine anomalies of pipeline and protective casings. The In-Line Inspection device includes a first transmitter operable to transmit signals towards a protective casing while the tool is traveling inside a pipeline that is enclosed by the protective casing, where the signals are partially scattered in response to interacting with the protective casing. The In-Line Inspection device also includes a first receiver operable to detect a first scattered signal caused by the protective casing while the In-Line Inspection device is traveling along the pipeline. The In-Line Inspection device also includes one or more processors operable to determine a presence of an anomaly of the protective casing based on the first scattered signal. The In-Line Inspection device also includes a storage medium for storing data indicative of the first scattered signal.
