Contactless pipeline wall thickness measurement

Contactless pipeline wall thickness measurement

Contactless pipeline wall thickness measurement

(OP)
Good morning,
we have a 20" pipeline, 1 meter buried for which we are not sure of the wall thickness.
Is anybody aware of any available instrumentation that will allow to measure the pipe wall thickness without digging all the area around the pipe?

thanks

Ultrasonic pig?

Nothing else I know of

Pigging the pipe is the only known technology.
