Sonar: The sonar profiler is designed to provide dimensional data
on debris levels, grease accumulation, pipe deformation and other

In surcharged lines or siphons, sonar can provide the profile and
dimensional data of significant obstacles or defects.
Sidewall scanning: These panoramic inspection systems utilize

cessed to provide defect measurements for cracks, joint openings
and other issues.
