A. SAAM cannot detect corrosion and wall thickness changes like an intelligent pig. SAAM can be used to determine the way individual pipe joints effect the pig as it travels through. The results can be indicative of local corrosion effects, or some other form of either permanent or semi-permanent event in the pipeline.
