Exploration and Practical Research of Pipeline Inspection Technology

Book excerpt: The book "Exploration and Practice Research on Pipeline Inspection Technology" comprehensively and systematically introduces three main parts: oil and gas pipeline inspection technology, long-distance pipeline inspection and testing, and pipeline maintenance and repair technology. The section on oil and gas pipeline inspection technology discusses various detection techniques, with a focus on pipeline ultrasonic guided wave inspection technology, pipeline magnetic leakage inspection technology, ultrasonic phased array and time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) inspection technology, and non-destructive testing technology. The section on long-distance pipeline inspection and testing mainly covers oilfield gathering pipeline network inspection and oil and gas long-distance pipeline surface inspection, as well as new technologies for ground inspection of oil and gas pipelines such as alternating voltage gradient detection data correction technology, metal magnetic memory inspection technology, and transient electromagnetic inspection technology. The section on pipeline maintenance and repair technology primarily discusses pipeline maintenance and repair techniques.
