MFL-DFL
THE DfL-UHR ADVANTAGE
- Industry Leading Design
- Robust Data Collection
- GPS Excavation Points
- Single Pass
Data sets for conducting metal loss, deformation, and inertial surveys, along with internal/external discrimination and residual field data are taken in a single pass of the inspection tool. The DfL-UHR utilizes axial magnetic flux leakage data to provide an assessment of metal loss occurring within a pipeline.
Concurrent data set collection greatly simplifies the process of identifying features and anomaly types. Processing and analyzing the closely coupled data allows analysts to more readily recognize pipeline features and assess conditions. Any areas indicating geometry and/or metal loss features may now be simultaneously evaluated for deformation, strain, profile, and permeability variations.
The tool utilizes some of the most advanced design, data storage and packaging techniques presently available, as evidenced by the diverse data sets being taken and limited physical size and weight of the tools themselves, typically less in length and weight than most presently being offered.
Our MFL-DfL utilizes state-of-the-art Magnetic Flux Leakage technology to provide feature detection, such as:
- Automated sizing
- Sizing focused
- Sizing + Severity
- Sizing + Correlation
- Manual validation of any given number of indications
- Illegal hot tap locations
Need to reduce the speed? Our DSC 2.0 tool can be paired with both ILI & Cleaning tools.

Ensure and maintain the integrity of your pipeline assets frequently
Run our MFL-DfL as often as you desire and receive quick turn-around of your integrity data. Either way, we're here for you every step of the way!
MFL-DfL Features:
- Illegal Tapping
- Intuitive Maintenance
- Validate & Correlate
- Compact Configuration
- Run as Needed
- Cost Effective
- Robust Data Collection
- Run-to Run Corrosion Comparison
- Rapid Report Turnaround
Quick Results
As an excellent option for lines with short launch and/or receive line traps - The data can be quickly examined to determine new features/anomalies and reported to operators for prompt response - saving time and money.
Analysis Comparison
Analysis of the pipeline data can be conducted and compared to previous runs of the MFL detection tools.
A correlation report will identify any new tap features; new features that were not present in previous tool surveys are quickly recognized.
Prevent Catastrophes
By locating and addressing any potential integrity threats immediately, this will mitigate chances of a future catastrophic event.

Enduro highly recommends running an appropriate cleaning pig before any inspections. You can learn more about our cleaning pigs and our dedicated cleaning pig division here: Cleaning Pigs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is MFL (Magnetic Flux Leakage)?
Magnetic Flux Leakage is a nondestructive inline inspection technology used to detect metal loss, corrosion, pitting, and illegal taps. When the magnetic field in the pipe wall is disrupted by wall thinning, sensors measure the leakage signal and convert it into detailed corrosion data.
What makes Enduro’s MFL-DfL tool different?
Enduro’s MFL-DfL tool provides high-resolution metal loss data, a compact body for short traps, optional combo configurations (MFL + Caliper + IMU), and fast, operator-focused reporting turnaround. It is also designed and supported entirely in North America.
What pipe sizes does the MFL-DfL tool support?
Typical diameter range is 4"–36", with tool bodies engineered for standard midstream pipeline sizes and customizable options available for specialty lines.
Can the MFL-DfL tool detect illegal taps?
Yes. Illegal hot taps and theft points create geometric or metal-loss signatures that MFL sensors can identify, helping operators mitigate safety risks and product loss.
What types of anomalies can MFL detect?
MFL identifies:
- General corrosion
- Localized pitting
- Clustered corrosion
- Gouges
- Mechanical damage
- Illegal taps
- Metal loss associated with strain
For dents, ovality, and wrinkles, many operators pair MFL-DfL with Enduro’s Geometry & IMU tools.
Do operators receive support during the run?
Absolutely. Enduro provides pre-run trap checks, run support, tracking solutions, and post-run analysis. Our team works directly with operators throughout the inspection.
