Technical principles

The spherical inner detector is put into the pipeline under pressure through the ball sending and receiving device, and the liquid flow drives the detection ball forward. Sensors such as hydrophones, pressure gauges, thermometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers installed in the sphere capture pipeline signals. After the detector is recovered, the data is analyzed to identify information such as pipeline leakage, direction, and magnetic field. During the detection process, probes can be placed on the ground to mark the path and time of the detection ball to improve detection accuracy.

System composition

The intra-spherical detector mainly consists of a sphere containing multiple sensors and a housing used to match the tube diameter and density. In engineering applications, different shells can be matched according to different pipe diameters, flow rates, and densities. Commonly used shell outer diameters are 30mm, 60mm, and 300mm.
