AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current pipe monitoring systems lack real-time data verification in subterranean environments due to noise dominance, and they are not designed for quick and simple installation, which can cause delays in maintenance and increase the risk of pipe failures.

Method used

A sensor arrangement that includes a sensor body with a pipe engaging surface, a measurement device configured to measure parameters like strain and temperature, and a data conduit to transmit measurements to an external unit, with optional features such as analogue to digital conversion, water-resistant connections, and a junction box for efficient signal processing and transmission.

Benefits of technology

The sensor arrangement enables real-time monitoring of pipe health, reduces noise interference by converting signals locally, and facilitates quick installation, thereby minimizing delays and reducing the likelihood of pipe failures.
