Abstract Scope |
Detection of corrosion in oil pipelines using real time monitoring allows for the recognition of developing issues before failure can occur. While there are many different methodologies to detect corrosion, which exploit changes in structural, chemical, and electrical properties, real-time detection can be more difficult to achieve. Optimizing continuous contact between a copper wire and steel, while reducing or preventing galvanic corrosion, as well as developing a microsensor, are vitally important, especially for utilization in current designs. This project focuses on developing an additively manufactured Bluetooth microsensor, that can detect corrosion and send that information to an operator’s phone. Changes caused by corrosion will be detected by the microsensor, including uniform corrosion and localized corrosion, such as pitting, to alert the operator of developing issues and allow for replacement before failure. Detection of corrosion will be performed by monitoring electrical property changes of the metal, including resistance, impedance, and conductance. |
