Misalignment during welding and maintenance causes structural integrity failures. Precise positioning prevents weld defects and mechanical stress concentrations.

Heat-affected zones often suffer from reduced mechanical strength compared to the base metal. Accurately identifying and repairing these weakened regions prevents structural failure in pressurized pipeline components.

Suboptimal heat transfer and electrical resistance in pipeline heating systems lead to inefficient fluid transport. Improving conductivity prevents flow assurance failures in supercritical and high-viscosity environments.
