Three pipelines from Campos Basin were inspected through MFL pigs, which registered the occurrence of atypical signal in the lower generatrix of the girth welds of these pipelines. The occurrence became critical due to the great number of welded joints with such indications. Because of the necessity to characterize the problem, some spots from each pipeline were inspected through underwater Computed Radiography using a tool handled by divers. This work was considered relevant and pioneer, as there is no record of similar activity in Brazil or overseas. The results obtained showed that the indications refer to damages by localized internal corrosion, showing mass loss between 10 % and 28 % of the thickness. This observation was the same for the three pipelines.
