Pipeline Inspection & Magnetism

If any of you are in the pipeline inspection business... running inspection equipment inside pipelines looking for cracks, corrosion, etc... question for you.
If there was a magnetic particle (say the size of a BB or T shot) would your equipment recognize it with right type of software or would it be seen as just some type of anomaly or mass?
I know you guys can spot hairline cracks in pipe that aren't visible to the eye. Just wondering if you would see a small bit of magnetic steel on outside of carbon steel pipe?
Thanks in advance.

What do you mean?
Is the magnetic particle within the base steel, or is it like a small magnet attached to the outside?
If attached to the outside, it would depend on the inspection technique, and relative size of object.

Internal inspection tools look for internal anomalies and conditions
For an external anomaly you need an external inspection
Not sure what you are looking for
In service pipe or out of service?

Smart pig will pick up that hot tap you are thinking about putting on that line.

I think this counts for "If you see something say something".

Why do you ask?

Yah, x-ray crew would shoot and fail the weld due to mag particles.
