Detection and control of corrosion in buried gas pipe line using LabVIEW

摘要

For efficient management the early detection and control on any damage which occurs in the gas pipeline such as crack or leakage is essential in many gas industries. The wireless temperature & pressure transmitters have been commonly used to collect the information in supervision consistency of the gas pipeline. The most common sensors used in finding the abnormality in the pipe line are pressure and temperature sensors as the pressure and temperature changes whenever crack occurs. The major problems that are related to the gas or oil pipeline supervision is the unthinking rather than practical maintenance approach to the crack or any abnormality. The motivation of this project is to build a security method for the early revealing of corrosion and also to control, which the gas pipeline buried is exposed to changing gas flow pressures and temperatures. During the maintenance period the gas flow is diverted through a substitute pipe line to avoid the shut-down of the whole process in the gas industry. Simulation of the detection of crack in the pipe line is implemented using LabVIEW.
