Abstract:
Pipeline inspection systems are provided. In one embodiment, a pipeline inspection system can include at least one sensor module having a module body and a plurality of sensor holders mounted to the module body. Each sensor holder can include a holder body with a first body end, a second body end, and a plurality of sensors positioned therebetween, and a plurality of rotational guides that can be coupled to the holder body and configured to be biased towards an interior surface of the pipeline wall so as to define a standoff distance between each sensor and the interior surface of the pipeline wall. Each sensor holder can be at least partially pivotable about a longitudinal axis of the holder body extending between the first body end and the second body end. Methods of inspecting a pipeline are also provided.

Claim (Index 6):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sensors are positioned in a predetermined pattern such that when at least one of the plurality of rotational guides contacts a feature on the interior surface of a pipeline, a first sensor of the plurality of sensors tilts relative to the longitudinal axis of the pipeline from an initial position to a deviated position while at least one of the other plurality of sensors is in the initial position when sensing the parameter of the pipeline wall.
