== Abstract ==

Pipeline systems are widely used in gas, refinery, chemical and petro-chemical industries, which usually carry high pressure, high temperature or even highly corrosive fluids. Cracks and corrosion are often found at the outer or inner surface of pipeline and can lead to a serious thinning of wall thickness. Leaks or sudden failures of pipes can cause injuries, fatalities and environmental damage. Ultrasonic nondestructive techniques are available for the detection of wall loss associated with defects in the pipe. Unfortunately, a high proportion in pipelines of these industrial are insulated, so that even external corrosion cannot readily be detected by the conventional ultrasonic testing (single position measurement) without the removal of the insulation, which in most case is time-consuming and cost expensive. Especially in typically industrial plants, there are hundreds of kilometers of pipelines can be in operation. Making inspection of full pipelines is virtually impossible in industrial plants. There is therefore a quick reliable method for the detection of corrosion under insulation (CUI). This technique, called guided wave, employs a pulseecho system applied at a single location of a pipe where only a small section of insulation need to be removed, using waves propagation along the pipe wall. The changes in the response signal indicate the presence of an impedance change in the pipe. The shape and axial location of defects and features in the pipe are also determined by reflected signals and their arrival times. Propagation distance of many tens of meters can readily be obtained in steel pipes [1-6]. Since these guided waves are cylindrical Lamb waves along the pipe, no lateral spreading can occur and the propagation is essentially one-dimensional. In a uniform pipe, their amplitude with propagation distance is therefore only reduced by the material attenuation of the steel [7].
