Abstract

Inspection of the pipeline needs analysis and control of the bot which requires proper planning of the system equipped with required sensors. Pipelines are the only sources for transportation of all kinds of liquids like gas, water, fuel oils, etc. The transportation loss occurs due to aging, corrosion, obstacles, crack, and mechanical faults in the pipeline. By regular inspection of pipeline, the lifetime of pipeline can also be increased. The robot is controlled with microcontroller NODEMCU, the pipeline inspection system also contains an infrared (IR) sensor to detect crack along with gas and temperature sensor for detecting smoke and temperature, respectively. This paper proposes a design for a pipeline inspection robot that can detect various pipe cracks internally by using infrared sensor IR at a very low cost.
