Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent in advance an accident caused by a strength drop by covering a metallic line of a fluid transport pipe with an electric insulator, detecting a conduction which is generated between the metallic lines due to a fact that the covering is eliminated by abrasion of the electric insulator, and diagnosing the deterioration of the fluid transport pipe. CONSTITUTION:A fluid transport pipe 1 consists of a plastic inner pipe 2, a metallic reinforcing layer 4 formed by winding spirally plural metallic lines 3 thereon, and an external sheath 5 made of plastic, and the outside peripheral surface of the metallic line 3 is covered with an electric insulator 6. In this state, a lead wire 8 is connected to end parts 3a, 3b of each metallic line of the reinforcing layer 4 from a terminal part of the transport pipe 1 and a voltage is applied, and a part thereof or the whole is eliminated due to abrasion of the electric insulator 6 and a current generated between the metallic lines 3 is detected.

When a fluid transport pipe is repeatedly bent in this way, the contact parts of the metal strips become relatively misaligned, which causes the metal strips to wear out and lose their reinforcing function, causing the fluid transport pipe to break and cause fluid to leak, causing environmental damage. This method has the disadvantage of causing accidents such as contamination and the inability to transport fluids.

As mentioned above, if the metal strips constituting the metal reinforcing layer are covered with an electrical insulator, when the fluid transport pipe is repeatedly bent by waves and the contact parts of the metal strips are displaced relative to each other, electrical The insulation is worn out and some or all of it is removed,
The surface of the metal strips is exposed, and the metal strips become electrically conductive. By detecting this, it is possible to diagnose the deterioration of the fluid transport pipe to see if the metal strips are rubbing against each other and starting to wear out, thereby preventing the strength of the fluid transport pipe from decreasing and causing an accident. It can be prevented.

This fluid transport pipe 1 is used by being laid in the sea, but when it is repeatedly bent by waves, the contact portion of the metal strip 3 becomes relatively displaced, the metal strip 3 wears out, and loses its reinforcing function. In order to detect this, as shown in FIG. A voltage is applied to form an electric circuit as shown in FIG. 4, for example.

With this configuration, if the fluid transport pipe 1 is normal,
Since the electrical insulator 6 coated on the metal strip 3 is not removed, the metal strips do not become electrically conductive.However, when the contact portions of the metal strip 3 are relatively shifted due to repeated bending due to waves, the electrical insulation When the object 6 is worn out and a part or all of it is removed, an exposed portion 9 is formed on the surface of the metal strip 3, and the metal strips become electrically conductive, so that a current flows between the metal strips 3. By detecting this, it becomes possible to diagnose the deterioration of the fluid transport pipe to see if the metal strips are rubbing against each other and are beginning to wear out.
