Problems such as corrosion and wear of pipelines can seriously affect their service life and safety. Traditional pipeline detection methods include ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle testing, eddy current testing, etc. These methods often require direct contact with the pipeline surface, and the detection process is complex and time-consuming, especially inconvenient for buried or hard-to-reach pipelines.

This technology can achieve real-time and continuous monitoring of pipelines without interrupting the normal operation of the pipelines, greatly improving the detection efficiency and safety. The wireless non-destructive system includes wireless sensors and a central monitoring system.

[0056] Composite materials have advantages such as light weight and high strength, so they are widely used in the manufacture of various pipelines. Especially in industries such as petrochemical industry, pipelines wrapped with composite materials are used to transport high-pressure and high-temperature fluids. However, the wrapping of composite materials will significantly increase the wall thickness of the pipeline, affecting the corrosion resistance, transportation performance, etc. of the pipeline. Therefore, a non-destructive method is needed to monitor the wall thickness of the pipeline substrate inside the composite material to ensure the intact state and safe operation of the inner wall of the pipeline. At present, most traditional wall thickness detection methods use destructive detection techniques, such as destructive testing, but this will damage the pipeline and affect its use. In order to ensure the safety and reliability of the pipeline, it is particularly important to develop a non-destructive and real-time pipeline wall thickness monitoring technology.
[0057] In this case, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for monitoring the wall thickness of a pipeline wrapped with a composite material. Based on a wireless non-destructive system, through ultrasonic technology and combined with the comprehensive analysis of specific parameters, accurate measurement of the pipeline wall thickness can be achieved, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the pipeline. Through ultrasonic detection and data analysis in the present application, the following purposes are achieved: one is to provide a method for non-destructively and real-time monitoring the wall thickness of a pipeline wrapped with a composite material; the other is to generate a curve of the relationship between the wall thickness and the comprehensive parameters to achieve accurate quantification of the wall thickness. Thus, real-time monitoring of the pipeline wrapped with a composite material can be realized.
[0058] The above method for monitoring the wall thickness of a pipeline wrapped with a composite material can be applied to a system for monitoring the wall thickness of a pipeline wrapped with a composite material.Figure 1 The structural schematic diagram of a system for monitoring the wall thickness of a composite - wrapped pipeline is shown. As Figure 1 shown, the system for monitoring the wall thickness of a composite - wrapped pipeline includes: a wireless non - destructive system 101 and a pipeline 102. The pipeline 102 can be a pipeline without a composite material layer wrapped thereon and / or a pipeline to be measured in this application.
[0059] Among them, the wireless non - destructive system 101 is used to take the pipeline without a composite material layer wrapped thereon (i.e., the pipeline 102) as the starting measurement point. Under the condition of keeping the measurement conditions unchanged, gradually increase the thickness of the composite material layer, conduct ultrasonic detection, obtain measurement and analysis parameters, form an initial data set with the measurement and analysis parameters, generate a comprehensive parameter value according to the measurement and analysis parameters in the initial data set, take the thickness as the abscissa and the comprehensive parameter value as the ordinate to draw a thickness - comprehensive parameter relationship graph, draw a wall - thickness - amplitude relationship curve based on the thickness - comprehensive parameter relationship graph, and obtain the actual wall thickness of the pipeline to be measured (i.e., the pipeline 102) by comparing and analyzing the real - time amplitude data of the pipeline to be measured with the wall - thickness - amplitude relationship curve.
[0060] In the embodiments of the present application, the wireless non - destructive system 101 can be a pipeline monitoring system based on wireless non - destructive testing technology, and can also be called a wireless non - destructive system, a wireless monitoring system, a wireless non - destructive detection system, a wireless non - destructive monitoring system, etc.
[0061] It should be noted that Figure 1 the structure shown in Figure 1 does not constitute a limitation on the system for monitoring the wall thickness of a composite - wrapped pipeline. Except for
[0062] the components shown, the system for monitoring the wall thickness of a composite - wrapped pipeline may include more or fewer components than those shown in the figure, or combine some components, or have different component arrangements.
[0062] Next, the method for monitoring the wall thickness of a composite - wrapped pipeline provided by the embodiments of the present application will be introduced in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0063] The method for monitoring the wall thickness of a composite - wrapped pipeline provided by the embodiments of the present application is applied to Figure 1 the wireless non - destructive system 101 in the system for monitoring the wall thickness of a composite - wrapped pipeline shown in Figure 2 As shown, the method for monitoring the wall thickness of a composite - wrapped pipeline includes:
[0064] S201. Take the pipeline without a composite material layer wrapped thereon as the starting measurement point. Under the condition of keeping the measurement conditions unchanged, gradually increase the thickness of the composite material layer, conduct ultrasonic detection, obtain measurement and analysis parameters, and form an initial data set with the measurement and analysis parameters.
[0065] That is to say, taking the pipe without the wrapped composite material as the starting measurement point, ultrasonic detection is carried out. Under the condition of keeping the measurement conditions unchanged, gradually increase the thickness of the composite material wrapping layer (which can also be called the composite material layer or the composite material wrapping layer, etc.), obtain a number of measurement and analysis parameters, and form an initial data set with the number of measurement and analysis parameters.
[0066] S202. Generate a comprehensive parameter value according to the measurement and analysis parameters in the initial data set.
[0067] S203. Taking the thickness as the abscissa and the comprehensive parameter value as the ordinate, draw a thickness-comprehensive parameter relationship diagram.
[0068] S204. Based on the thickness-comprehensive parameter relationship diagram, draw a wall thickness-amplitude relationship curve.
[0069] That is to say, generate a number of comprehensive parameter values according to a number of measurement and analysis parameters in the initial data set; taking the wrapping layer thickness as the abscissa and the comprehensive parameter value as the ordinate, draw a thickness-comprehensive parameter relationship diagram; based on the thickness-comprehensive parameter relationship diagram, draw a wall thickness-amplitude relationship curve.
[0070] S205. By comparing and analyzing the real-time amplitude data of the pipeline to be measured with the wall thickness-amplitude relationship curve, obtain the actual wall thickness of the pipeline to be measured.
[0071] It can be understood that this embodiment provides a method for monitoring the wall thickness of a composite material wrapped pipeline based on wireless non-destructive testing technology. The core of this method lies in using ultrasonic detection technology to monitor the wall thickness of the pipeline (i.e., the thickness of the composite material layer wrapped on the pipeline) in a non-invasive manner in real time, so as to ensure the safe operation of the pipeline. The specific steps are as follows:
[0072] First, select a section of the pipeline not wrapped with composite material (i.e., the pipeline without the composite material layer in this application) as the reference measurement point (which can also be called the starting measurement point). The wireless non-destructive system can use ultrasonic detection equipment to accurately measure the wall thickness of this point. Under the condition of ensuring that the measurement conditions (such as temperature, pressure, ultrasonic frequency, etc.) remain constant, gradually increase the thickness of the composite material wrapping layer on the pipeline surface. Each time a layer is added, ultrasonic detection is carried out once, and the corresponding measurement and analysis parameters are recorded.
[0073] Summarize these measurement and analysis parameters to form an initial data set. These parameters may include the propagation time of ultrasonic waves, the amplitude of the reflected wave, frequency changes, etc. Subsequently, according to the measurement and analysis parameters in the initial data set, through mathematical modeling or statistical analysis methods, generate a number of comprehensive parameter values. These comprehensive parameter values can more comprehensively reflect the influence of the composite material wrapping layer on the ultrasonic signal (such as ultrasonic amplitude).
[0074] Next, taking the thickness of the composite material's wrapping layer as the abscissa and the calculated comprehensive parameter value as the ordinate, a thickness-comprehensive parameter relationship graph is plotted. By analyzing this relationship graph, the relationship curve between the wall thickness and the ultrasonic amplitude, i.e., the wall thickness-amplitude relationship curve, can be further plotted. This curve reflects the changing trend of the ultrasonic amplitude under different wall thickness conditions and is the key basis for subsequent wall thickness monitoring.
[0075] Finally, for the pipeline to be measured (which can also be called the pipeline under test), the amplitude data of the surface ultrasonic waves is collected in real time. By comparing and analyzing these real-time data with the previously plotted wall thickness-amplitude relationship curve, the actual wall thickness of the pipeline under test can be deduced through the corresponding relationship on the curve. Through this method, continuous monitoring of the pipeline wall thickness can be achieved, abnormal wall thickness can be detected in a timely manner, pipeline failures can be prevented, and the safe operation of the pipeline can be ensured.
[0076] In addition, in order to improve the accuracy and reliability of the monitoring, more monitoring points can be considered to be introduced to obtain more comprehensive data. At the same time, other non-destructive testing techniques, such as electromagnetic testing and infrared testing, can also be combined to further verify and supplement the results of ultrasonic testing. Through the integration of multiple technologies, the health status of the pipeline can be evaluated more comprehensively, providing a more powerful guarantee for the safe operation of the pipeline.
[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, the measurement and analysis parameters include at least one of the following: pulse reflection intensity ratio, sound velocity change rate, phase delay value, and non-linear coefficient; the non-linear coefficient includes the spectral attenuation coefficient.
[0078] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the measurement and analysis parameters involved include the pulse reflection intensity ratio, sound velocity change rate, phase delay value, and non-linear coefficient. Specifically, the pulse reflection intensity ratio refers to the intensity ratio between the reflected wave (i.e., the reflected wave of the ultrasonic wave) and the incident wave (i.e., the incident wave of the ultrasonic wave) during the ultrasonic testing process. This ratio can reflect whether there are defects inside the material and the severity of the defects. By analyzing this parameter, we can have a preliminary understanding of the integrity inside the material.
[0079] The sound velocity change rate refers to the change in the velocity of the ultrasonic wave when it propagates inside the material. This parameter is closely related to the elastic modulus and density of the material. Therefore, by measuring the sound velocity change rate, we can evaluate the mechanical properties of the material. For example, if the sound velocity change rate is large, it may indicate that the elastic modulus of the material is low or the density is high, thus affecting its mechanical properties.
[0080] Phase delay value refers to the delay of the ultrasonic wave relative to the original signal after it passes through the material. This parameter is very sensitive to detecting small changes inside the material. Therefore, by measuring the phase delay value, we can find small defects or unevenness that may exist inside the material. This is crucial to ensure the quality and performance of the material.
[0081] The nonlinear coefficient is a measure of the nonlinear propagation characteristics of a material to ultrasound. This parameter is closely related to the microstructure and defects inside the material and can provide important information about the internal state of the material. For example, if the nonlinear coefficient is high, it may indicate that there are more defects or inhomogeneities inside the material, thus affecting its overall performance.
[0082] By comprehensively analyzing these parameters, including pulse reflection intensity ratio, sound velocity change rate, phase delay value, and nonlinear coefficient, we can more comprehensively evaluate the performance of the material and detect whether there are defects inside it. This method can not only provide detailed information about the mechanical properties of the material, but also help us identify and locate tiny defects inside the material, thereby ensuring the quality and reliability of the material.
[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, the pulse reflection intensity ratio is calculated by the following formula:
[0084]
[0085] Where R represents the pulse reflection intensity ratio; I reflected Indicates the intensity of the reflected wave; I incident Represents the intensity of the incident wave.
[0086] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the pulse reflection intensity ratio R is obtained by measuring the intensity I of the reflected wave. reflected The intensity of the incident wave I incident This calculation method allows us to quantify the intensity of the reflected wave relative to the incident wave, thereby evaluating the reflection characteristics of the material surface or interface. Specifically, by measuring the intensity of the reflected wave I reflected The intensity of the incident wave I incident By measuring the ratio of the reflected wave intensity to the incident wave intensity, we can get a quantitative reflection intensity ratio R. This value can reflect the reflection characteristics of the material surface or interface, such as the proportional relationship between the intensity of the reflected wave and the intensity of the incident wave. In practical applications, this measurement method can be widely used in various fields, such as detecting material defects, evaluating coating quality, or performing other related analyses. Through this method, we can understand the reflection characteristics of the material more accurately, thereby providing an important reference for the selection and application of the material.
[0087] In some embodiments of the present application, the sound velocity change rate is calculated by the following formula:
[0088]
[0089] Among them, ΔV represents the sound velocity change rate; V1 represents the sound velocity of the composite material layer; V2 represents the sound velocity of the pipeline substrate; d represents the thickness of the composite material layer.
[0090] It can be understood that in this embodiment, by accurately measuring the sound velocities of the composite material layer and the pipeline substrate (i.e., the material used for the pipeline), and further determining the thickness of the composite material layer, we can calculate the sound velocity change rate ΔV. This sound velocity change rate ΔV can be used as a key parameter to evaluate the bonding quality between the composite material layer and the pipeline substrate. Specifically, by using ultrasonic detection technology, we can measure the propagation velocities of sound waves in the composite material layer and the pipeline substrate. The propagation velocities of sound waves in different media are different. Therefore, by comparing the propagation velocities of sound waves in the composite material layer and the pipeline substrate, we can obtain the sound velocity change rate ΔV. The magnitude of the sound velocity change rate ΔV can reflect the bonding strength and uniformity between the composite material layer and the pipeline substrate. If the sound velocity change rate ΔV is large, it indicates that the bonding between the composite material layer and the pipeline substrate is good and the bonding strength is high; on the contrary, if the sound velocity change rate ΔV is small, it indicates that the bonding strength is weak and there may be a poor bonding situation. Therefore, by calculating and analyzing the sound velocity change rate ΔV, we can effectively evaluate the bonding quality between the composite material layer and the pipeline substrate, thereby providing an important reference basis for production and quality control.
[0091] In some embodiments of the present application, the phase delay value is calculated by the following calculation formula:
[0092]
[0093] Among them, represents the phase delay value; ω represents the angular frequency of the ultrasonic wave; τ represents the delay time.
[0094] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the phase delay value is obtained by measuring the product of the delay time τ experienced by the ultrasonic wave when propagating in a specific material and the angular frequency ω of the ultrasonic wave. This calculation method can effectively evaluate the phase change that occurs during the propagation of the ultrasonic wave in the material, thereby further analyzing and understanding the internal properties of the material, such as its elastic modulus, density, and other related physical parameters. In the actual application scenario, the accurate measurement of the phase delay value is particularly important because it plays a crucial role in multiple fields such as non-destructive testing, material property analysis, and structural integrity assessment. Through this method, engineers and technicians can gain an in-depth understanding of the internal state of the material, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the material and the structure.
[0095] In some embodiments of the present application, the spectral attenuation coefficient is calculated by the following calculation formula:
[0096]
[0097] Wherein, β represents the spectral attenuation coefficient; A1 represents the amplitude of the incident wave; A2 represents the amplitude of the received wave; d represents the length of the signal propagation path.
[0098] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the calculation of the spectral attenuation coefficient β is based on the accurate measurement of the amplitudes A1 and A2 of the incident wave and the received wave, and combined with the determination of the length d of the signal propagation path. The spectral attenuation coefficient β is a very important parameter, which can be used as a key index to evaluate the attenuation degree of materials to ultrasonic signals. In practical applications, the measurement of the spectral attenuation coefficient is of extremely important significance, because it can help us evaluate the internal structure of materials, detect potential defects and other related analysis work. Through in-depth analysis of the spectral attenuation coefficient, we can accurately evaluate the uniformity, aging degree and possible internal damage of materials. Such evaluation results can provide a scientific basis for the maintenance and replacement of materials, thus ensuring the reliability and safety of materials during use.
[0099] In some embodiments of the present application, the comprehensive parameter value is calculated by the following calculation formula:

[0101] Wherein, S represents the comprehensive parameter value; R represents the pulse reflection intensity ratio; ΔV represents the sound velocity change rate; represents the phase delay value; β represents the spectral attenuation coefficient; w1 represents the weight of the pulse reflection intensity ratio, w2 represents the weight of the sound velocity change rate, w3 represents the weight of the phase delay value, and w4 represents the weight of the spectral attenuation coefficient.
[0102] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the calculation method of the comprehensive parameter value S is to perform a multiplication operation on each measurement and analysis parameter (including the pulse reflection intensity ratio, the sound velocity change rate, the phase delay value, and the non-linear coefficient) with the corresponding weight wi (i = 1, 2, 3, 4), and then sum these product results to obtain a comprehensive evaluation index. The weight wi reflects the importance of each parameter in the comprehensive evaluation, and the sum of these weights must be equal to 1. Through this calculation method, multiple measurement parameters can be integrated into a single index, making the process of evaluating material properties or detecting internal defects more intuitive and convenient. This comprehensive evaluation method provides a more comprehensive perspective, which helps technicians or engineers to make more accurate judgments and decisions when facing complex situations. In practical applications, this calculation method of the comprehensive parameter value has important application value in aspects such as material quality control, production process monitoring, and quality assurance of final products, and can significantly improve production efficiency and product quality.
[0103] In some embodiments of the present application, S further represents the processed comprehensive parameter value; R further represents the standardized pulse reflection intensity ratio; ΔV further represents the standardized sound velocity change rate; further represents the standardized phase delay value; β further represents the standardized spectral attenuation coefficient; w1 further represents the weight of the standardized pulse reflection intensity ratio, w2 further represents the weight of the standardized sound velocity change rate, w3 further represents the weight of the standardized phase delay value, and w4 further represents the weight of the standardized spectral attenuation coefficient. Combining Figure 2 , as Figure 3 shown, in the above S202, the method for generating the comprehensive parameter value according to the measurement and analysis parameters in the initial dataset specifically includes:
[0104] S301. Perform a standardization process on the measurement and analysis parameters in the initial dataset using a standardization formula (which can also be called Z-score standardization) to obtain standardized values, and generate the processed comprehensive parameter value according to the standardized values.
[0105] Among them, the standardized values include at least one of the following: the standardized pulse reflection intensity ratio, the standardized sound velocity change rate, the standardized phase delay value, and the standardized spectral attenuation coefficient.
[0106] The standardization formula is:
[0107]
[0108] Among them, for any parameter in the standardized values, X' represents the parameter; X represents the parameter before standardization (which can also be called the original parameter value or the original value); μ represents the average value of the parameters included in the standardized values (which can also be called the average value of the parameters); σ represents the standard deviation of the parameter.
[0109] That is to say, before generating a number of comprehensive parameter values based on a number of measurement and analysis parameters in the initial dataset, Z-score standardization is used to standardize the number of measurement and analysis parameters in the initial dataset. And based on the standardized values, the processed comprehensive parameter values are generated.
[0110] It can be understood that in this embodiment, in order to ensure fair comparison and comprehensive analysis between different measurement and analysis parameters, it is first necessary to perform Z-score standardization on the measurement and analysis parameters in the initial dataset. The purpose of this processing method is to eliminate the dimensionality influence between different parameters and make the data comparable. Z-score standardization is a method widely used in statistics, and its specific operation steps are as follows: First, calculate the difference between the original value X of each parameter and its average value μ, and then divide this difference by the standard deviation σ of the parameter. In this way, the standardized value X' of the parameter obtained will have the characteristics of zero mean and unit standard deviation. In this way, the data between different parameters can be compared and analyzed on the same scale, thus avoiding the influence brought by dimensionality differences.
[0111] The dataset after Z-score standardization processing can be used for further calculation of comprehensive parameter values. This calculation process usually involves weighting or synthesizing multiple standardized parameter values to obtain a comprehensive evaluation result. The advantage of this method is that it can provide a more accurate and reliable evaluation result because all parameters are compared and analyzed on the same scale. In practical applications, this standardization processing is of great significance for improving the accuracy and reliability of data analysis. By eliminating the dimensionality influence, the standardization processing makes the data analysis process more scientific and objective, thus providing more solid data support for decision-making.
[0112] In some embodiments of the present application, in combination with Figure 2 , such as Figure 4 shown, in the above S204, based on the thickness-comprehensive parameter relationship diagram, a wall thickness-amplitude relationship curve is drawn, specifically including:
[0113] S401. Calculate the attenuation rate according to the initial amplitude data (which can also be called the initial amplitude) of the pipeline without the wrapped composite material layer and the real-time amplitude data (which can also be called the actual amplitude) of the pipeline to be measured.
[0114] S402. Select the spectral attenuation coefficient that matches the attenuation rate, find the pipeline wall thickness corresponding to the comprehensive parameter value corresponding to the spectral attenuation coefficient in the thickness-comprehensive parameter relationship diagram, and draw a wall thickness-amplitude relationship curve with the pipeline wall thickness as the abscissa and the real-time amplitude data as the ordinate.
[0115] That is to say, select a spectral attenuation coefficient that matches the attenuation rate, and determine the corresponding comprehensive parameter value accordingly. Then, look up the pipe wall thickness corresponding to this comprehensive parameter value in the thickness-comprehensive parameter relationship diagram, which is the pipe wall thickness of the pipe to be measured.
[0116] It can be understood that in this embodiment, by comparing the initial amplitude of the pipe without the composite material layer wrapped and the actual amplitude of the pipe to be measured, we can calculate the attenuation rate. This calculation step is the key to evaluating the energy loss when the ultrasonic signal propagates in the material. The calculation of the attenuation rate is crucial for understanding the attenuation of the ultrasonic signal when propagating inside the material, because it can help us infer some physical properties of the material, such as density and uniformity, etc. By selecting a spectral attenuation coefficient that matches the calculated attenuation rate, we can further determine the corresponding comprehensive parameter value. This comprehensive parameter value combines multiple measurement and analysis parameters and considers their respective weights, thus providing a more comprehensive evaluation result.
[0117] Looking up the pipe wall thickness corresponding to this comprehensive parameter value in the thickness-comprehensive parameter relationship diagram is a process of establishing a connection between the comprehensive parameter value and the pipe wall thickness. In this way, we can convert the comprehensive parameter value obtained from ultrasonic testing into a specific physical measurement, that is, the pipe wall thickness. This process is particularly important in the field of non-destructive testing, because it allows technicians to accurately evaluate the thickness of the material without damaging the material. This is crucial for ensuring the safety and integrity of the structure, because the pipe wall thickness directly affects its load-bearing capacity and durability.
[0118] Through this method, we can effectively monitor and evaluate the health status of structural components such as pipes, and detect potential defects or damages in a timely manner. This is of great significance for taking corresponding maintenance measures to avoid possible accidents or failures. For example, in key industries such as petroleum and chemical industries, the safe operation of pipes is directly related to the stability and safety of the entire production system. Through non-destructive testing technology, we can detect wear, corrosion or other forms of damage to the pipes in advance, and thus repair or replace them in a timely manner to ensure the safe operation of the entire production system. Therefore, this method based on the calculation of the ultrasonic signal attenuation rate and the conversion of the comprehensive parameter value has broad application prospects and important practical significance in the field of non-destructive testing.
[0119] In some embodiments of the present application, the attenuation rate is calculated by the following calculation formula:
[0120]
[0121] Wherein, A(d) represents the real-time amplitude data; A0 represents the initial amplitude data, α represents the attenuation rate, and d represents the thickness of the composite material layer.
[0122] It is understandable that in this embodiment, the relationship between the actual amplitude A(d) and the initial amplitude A0 of the pipeline without the composite material layer wrapped is quantified through a mathematical formula, thereby obtaining the amplitude attenuation rate α. The ln function is a logarithmic function with the constant e (approximately 2.71828) as the base. This calculation formula cleverly uses the base e of the natural logarithm to represent the continuity of attenuation, thus accurately reflecting the exponential attenuation characteristics exhibited by the ultrasonic signal during propagation in the material. Through this precise calculation method, we can accurately calculate the energy loss during the propagation of the ultrasonic signal in the material, and further conduct in-depth evaluation and analysis of the physical properties of the material.
[0123] The calculated attenuation rate α plays a crucial role in the subsequent detection process. It is not only a key parameter for determining the comprehensive parameter value and the pipeline wall thickness, but also provides important data support for non-destructive testing. By accurately calculating the attenuation rate α, we can more effectively evaluate the physical properties of the material, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection. This method not only improves the detection efficiency, but also ensures the precision of the detection results, providing strong technical support for material detection and evaluation.
[0124] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, the specific working process of a method for monitoring the wall thickness of a composite material wrapped pipeline provided by this application is as follows:
[0125] S1. Install ultrasonic detection equipment, conduct ultrasonic detection on the pipeline without the composite material layer wrapped, and record the initial wall thickness data.
[0126] S2. Gradually increase the thickness of the composite material wrapping layer, and repeat the above detection after each increase of one layer to obtain multiple sets of wall thickness data and their ultrasonic parameters (i.e., the measurement and analysis parameters in this application).
[0127] S3. Use data analysis software to process and integrate the obtained data (i.e., multiple sets of wall thickness data and their ultrasonic parameters) to obtain the comprehensive parameter value.
[0128] S4. Based on the comprehensive parameter value, draw a thickness-comprehensive parameter relationship graph and a wall thickness-amplitude relationship curve.
[0129] S5. Through the real-time amplitude data obtained by conducting real-time ultrasonic detection on the pipeline to be measured, and combining with the wall thickness-amplitude relationship curve for comparison and analysis, obtain the actual wall thickness of the pipeline to be measured.
[0130] Through the above steps, this application can perform non-contact detection without causing any physical damage to the measured composite material wrapped pipeline. It can continuously and real-time detect the change of the pipeline wall thickness, reducing potential safety hazards. It can also accurately determine the pipeline wall thickness through the precise calculation of comprehensive parameters.
