Abstract:

Economy and energy transportation infrastructure depend on transmission gas pipelines. Their safety and failure avoidance are national concerns.  Coatings, cathodic protection, and advanced sensor checks maintain most underground pipes.   The main pipeline inspection method is "smart pigging," where an inside inspection device goes through. Some pipelines are unsuitable for "pigging". These "unpiggable" cables may require excavation, making testing expensive and unfeasible. The pipelines' structural integrity must be tested using cheaper methods. This study examines the MsS for internal corrosion monitoring and detection in sensitive transmission pipeline sections in the lab and field. MsS uses guided mechanical waves below 100 kHz. These pulse-echo waves detect pipeline welds and problems. This approach lets you inspect long pipelines from one place. This approach detects circumferential cracking and corrosion. MsS examined refinery and chemical plant aboveground pipes. Torsional guided waves are used in MsS with a probe with a thin ferromagnetic strip (typically nickel) attached to the pipeline and twenty coil turns around it.  The probe is cheaper than guided wave methods. It can collect data throughout time by being permanently mounted and buried on a pipeline at a low cost. Tracking condition changes over time would enable cost-effective pipeline integrity evaluation for crucial sections.
