AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for estimating the thickness of deposits on pipe inner surfaces, such as hydrates, waxes, or scale, in pipelines face significant estimation errors due to inaccuracies in measuring physical quantities like outer surface temperature, fluid temperature, and heat transfer coefficients, especially in natural environments where environmental changes are frequent.
An estimation system that corrects estimated values for deposit thickness by using measured outer surface temperatures of the pipe, acquired within a predetermined time after a deposit removal process, to ensure the estimation error remains within a predetermined range.
The system effectively maintains estimation errors for deposit thickness within a predetermined range by correcting estimated values with real-time measured data, addressing inaccuracies caused by environmental changes and unmeasurable physical quantities.
