Intelligent pipeline

To guarantee the safe operation of long-distance transportation pipelines, manual inspection has become unfeasible, ushering in an era of intelligent pipelines. Currently, intelligent pipeline technology can only detect the changes in pressure and flow rate, thereby inferring the affected portion of the pipeline. Manual inspection is then required in order to pinpoint the exact location of the problem, and you need to wait until there is a problem before you can fix it. There is a lag and there is a risk of emergency stop. 
Our company is developing intelligent pipelines, which are made of highly conductive polyurethane materials and metal foils in the lining materials to prepare wear monitoring sensors. A sensor simulation test platform is designed and built to realize the simulation test of sensor stability under the coupling effects of compression-shear, tension-shear, etc. The influence of sensor structure on sensor signal is studied, and a high-stability wear monitoring sensor is developed. The wear monitoring array is built around the pipe wall by using the monitoring sensor, and the influence of array structure parameters and arrangement direction on monitoring results is studied. The visualization technology of wear degree is developed, so as to detect the real-time wear of each pipeline, give an alarm in advance before problems occur, and arrange maintenance plans for repair or replacement in advance to reduce accidents.
