Description

Mobile pipe diagnosis device {A diagnosis apparatus for underground pipe}

The present invention relates to a mobile pipe diagnosis device, and relates to a mobile pipe diagnosis device capable of detecting the presence and degree of damage to the coating of a gas buried pipe or abnormality.

In terms of electrical protection, high-pressure gas piping equipment is composed of a pipe base material, sheath, and electrical protection system.

Defects in plumbing equipment can be largely classified into defects in the base material due to corrosion and poor construction, defects in coating, and defects in the electrical protection system. The reason coating defect detection is emphasized is that the probability that defects in coating are electrically and biochemically connected to defects in the parent material is very high.

Therefore, existing parent material damage in the pipe is detected and managed using ILI (In-Line Inspection), and the most effective way to maintain the integrity of the pipe is to detect and repair the damage to the coating that can lead to damage to the parent material in the future. can do.

For effective electrical protection of the pipe, the corrosion protection current must be controlled and flowed in the pipe in an electrical circuit (hereinafter referred to as CP (Cathodic Protection) system) consisting of a rectifier, pipe, electrolyte and anode. However, in the damaged coating area, the corrosion protection current is excessively introduced or lost, making it impossible to control the corrosion phenomenon.

In order to find and repair these defects, pipe-to-soil potential measurement techniques (DCVG and CIPS) are being actively applied. In the case of Korea Gas Corporation, a potential precision inspection (CIPS) is conducted every 5 years at intervals of 2 to 20 m directly above the buried pipe, and sections where external interference occurs are conducted at night.

However, these pipe diagnosis devices perform tasks while the operator carries the equipment by hand, and the weight of the equipment increases the fatigue of the worker, significantly reducing work efficiency, and also causes problems such as damage by dropping the equipment. are constantly being raised.
