With the rapid development of modern industry, the safety and reliability of pipeline systems have attracted more and more attention. In order to ensure the long-term stable operation of the pipeline, it is the primary task to detect the damage or leakage of the pipeline inner wall in time. Acoustic detection, as an efficient and non-destructive detection method, is widely used in pipeline inner wall damage detection, providing important technical support for ensuring the safety of the pipeline.

[0003] In the prior art, acoustic detection is commonly used to check whether the pipeline inner wall is damaged or leaked. In acoustic detection, ultrasonic detection is usually used.
