The invention relates to a ferromagnetic pipeline stress detection and monitoring method. The method includes the steps of firstly, collecting pipeline basic information, and primarily judging parts where
stress concentration possibly occurs; secondly, determining a pipeline
route and buried depth, to be more specific, visually measuring the pipeline
route, cleaning sundries, using a
pipe locatorto detect the
route, setting positioning piles, and measuring pipeline buried depth at the same time; thirdly, using a noncontact scanning
magnetometer to collect magnetic signals along the calibratedroute; fourthly, analyzing and
processing data, to be more specific, determining the axial position and circumferential position of the
stress concentration parts of the pipeline; fifthly, detectingand monitoring pipeline stress, to be more specific, circumferentially adhering resistance strain gauges to the surfaces of the
stress concentration points of the pipeline, and determining the stressvalue of the stress concentration points according to stress-strain relation; using the
general packet radio service technology to transmit data to achieve
remote data transmission and control. By themethod, the defects that existing ferromagnetic pipeline stress detection cannot accurately position the pipeline stress concentration points and determine the stress value of the stress concentration points are overcome, and omission factor is lowered greatly.
