Example Embodiment

[0028] Example 1: The pressure of a 3km long oil and gas pipeline is measured simultaneously at multiple points.

[0029] The measurement length is 3km, and the distance between adjacent detection points is 20m, so there are 150 detection points, that is, 150 pressure fiber grating sensors with different coupling resonance wavelengths are selected, and the bandwidth of each fiber grating sensor is 2nm.

[0030] The output power of each broadband semiconductor laser SLD is 1mw, the working wavelength bandwidth is 50nm, and the center wavelength of each SLD can cover 25 fiber grating sensors, so 6 SLDs with different center wavelengths are needed, and the center wavelengths are respectively λ 1 =1300nm、λ 2 =1350nm, λ 3 =1400nm、λ 4 =1450nm, λ 5 =1500nm、λ 6 =1550nm, the working wavelength range of 6 SLD arrays is 1275nm~1575nm.

[0031] According to the center wavelength and bandwidth range of the broadband semiconductor laser SLD array 1, it completely covers the coupling resonance w...

[0034]Example 2: Simultaneous differential measurement of temperature and pressure of a 2km long oil and gas pipeline

[0035] The measurement length is 2km, and the distance between adjacent detection points is 10m, so there are 200 detection points, that is, 100 temperature fiber grating sensors and pressure fiber grating sensors with different coupling resonance wavelengths are selected, and the bandwidth of each fiber grating sensor is 2nm.

[0036] The output power of each broadband semiconductor laser SLD is 1mw, the working wavelength bandwidth is 80nm, and the center wavelength of each SLD can cover 40 fiber grating sensors, so 5 SLDs with different center wavelengths are required, and the center wavelengths are respectively λ 1 =1300nm、λ 2 =1380nm, λ 3 = 1460nm, λ 4 = 1540nm, λ 5 =1620nm, the working wavelength range of 5 SLD arrays is 1260nm~1660nm.

[0037] According to the center wavelength and bandwidth range of the broadband semiconductor laser SLD array 1, it comple...

[0039] Example 3: Simultaneous differential measurement of temperature and pressure of a 2km long oil and gas pipeline

[0040] The principle of this embodiment is the same as that of embodiment 2.

[0041] The principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 2, and the difference is that a temperature fiber grating sensor and a pressure fiber grating sensor are arranged near each detection point at the same time, and the distance between the two fiber grating sensors is 100 μm-400 μm.

[0042] The measurement length is 2km, and the distance between adjacent detection points is 20m. Therefore, there are 100 detection points. Each detection point is equipped with a temperature fiber grating sensor and a pressure fiber grating sensor. There are 100 pressure fiber grating sensors each, and the bandwidth of each fiber grating sensor is 2nm.

Abstract

The present invention provides one kind of system to perform distributive multi-point detection for corrosion, crack, leakage, wax precipitation, scaling and other status in long oil and gas conveying pipeline by means of fiber grating sensing technology. The system includes near-infrared wide-band semiconductor laser source array, wavelength division multiplexer, bi-directional fiber coupler, fiber grating sensor array, spectral analyzer and signal transmission optical cable. The continuous near-infrared light signal the laser source array emits is transmitted to fiber grating sensor array embedded inside the long oil and gas conveying pipeline through the wavelength division multiplexer and the bi-directional fiber coupler, the sensor array detects the varying temperature and pressure of fluid inside the pipeline and reflects to the bi-directional fiber coupler while being coupled to the analyzer and the computer to obtain the conveying status inside the pipeline.
