Fault Detection System In A Pipeline: Data Acquisition & Transmission

The proposed project is about developing a fault detection system in an oil or gas pipeline. The detection system must be able to move along the pipeline, deposit at various locations to sense the presence of pipe thinning due to corrosion, and communicate that information to an outside receiver for processing. For the data acquisition and transmission system, the objective of it is to develop an analog data acquisition system in order to display the
resultant waveform for detecting leakages, thinning or cracks in the pipeline at the personal computer (PC). The methodology used in this project is that the analog signal waveform from the sensor will be picked up by the Data Acquisition (DAQ) board, National Instrument, NI PCI 6024E.
