Abstract
Structural health monitoring techniques have captured much interest and attention of researchers owing to their potential in providing spatial and quantitative information regarding structural damage and the performance of a structure. Integrated health monitoring of structures with advances in sensor technology can improve structural reliability, system performance, and safety. Pipelines exist for the transport of crude/refined petroleum, oil, natural gas, and biofuels. These pipelines are made from steel which are usually buried. These pipelines are prone to natural and man-made damages. Hence, monitoring of these buried pipelines becomes essential. Leakages of oil and gas from pipeline are dangerous for people and environment. Detection of leakage along the pipeline network is an essential part of the maintenance activity which is always a difficult task. The experimental studies carried out on using FBG sensors for monitoring corrosion in buried pipelines has been described in this paper. In this study, the FBG sensor is used for measuring the hoop strain variation in the pipeline and from the variation of hoop strain corrosion is identified. Hence, the FBG sensor technology can be adopted for monitoring corrosion in the buried oil and gas pipelines.
