A method of pipe inspection, comprising: providing a first pipe section having a first pipe body, a first leading end, and a first trailing end; providing a second pipe section having a second pipe body, a second leading end, and a second trailing end; abutting at least a portion of the second leading end to at least a portion of the first trailing end to define a pipe abutment zone comprising a portion of the first pipe section measured longitudinally from the first trailing end a longitudinal distance of 300 mm and a portion of the second pipe section measured longitudinally from the second leading end a longitudinal distance of 300 mm; conveying the first pipe section and the second pipe section longitudinally at a first speed relative to an inspection device configured to perform an electromagnetic inspection; inspecting, by the inspection device as the first pipe section and the second pipe section are conveyed relative to the inspection device, a first portion of the pipe abutment zone and a second portion of the pipe abutment zone; and providing, based on the inspecting, defect data that describes defects detected within at least one of the first portion and the second portion of the pipe abutment zone by the inspection device; and wherein the inspection device functions using the principle of dispersed electromagnetic flow and the inspection comprises: creating a magnetic field proximal an axial pipe section; detecting an interaction of the magnetic field with the axial pipe section; and detecting a variance of the interaction at the axial pipe section. providing a first pipe section having a first pipe body, a first leading end, and a first trailing end; providing a second pipe section having a second pipe body, a second leading end, and a second trailing end; abutting at least a portion of the second leading end to at least a portion of the first trailing end to define a pipe abutment zone comprising a portion of the first pipe section measured longitudinally from the first trailing end a longitudinal distance of 300 mm and a portion of the second pipe section measured longitudinally from the second leading end a longitudinal distance of 300 mm; conveying the first pipe section and the second pipe section longitudinally at a first speed relative to an inspection device configured to perform an electromagnetic inspection; inspecting, by the inspection device as the first pipe section and the second pipe section are conveyed relative to the inspection device, a first portion of the pipe abutment zone and a second portion of the pipe abutment zone; and providing, based on the inspecting, defect data that describes defects detected within at least one of the first portion and the second portion of the pipe abutment zone by the inspection device; and wherein the inspection device functions using the principle of dispersed electromagnetic flow and the inspection comprises: creating a magnetic field proximal an axial pipe section; detecting an interaction of the magnetic field with the axial pipe section; and detecting a variance of the interaction at the axial pipe section. creating a magnetic field proximal an axial pipe section; detecting an interaction of the magnetic field with the axial pipe section; and detecting a variance of the interaction at the axial pipe section. <EOS>
