Mount assembly, a system and a method for collecting fluid conduit data

Provided is a device, method, and inspection system for collecting data in a fluid conduit. The inspection system includes a pig, wherein the pig is defined by at least a front end and a read end, the rear end being distally opposed to the front end along a longitudinal axis, a mount assembly secured to the rear end of the pig; and at least one sensor device removably coupled to the mount assembly.

Inline demagnetization for operational pipelines

Systems, methods, and a computer readable medium are provided for demagnetizing a pipe within an operational pipeline. An inline demagnetization device can be positioned in a first location within a pipe of an operational pipeline. The inline demagnetization device can be positioned via a plurality of positioning mechanisms operable to position the inline demagnetization device at one or more locations within the pipe. The inline demagnetization device can transmit magnetic fields into the pipe at the first location via a plurality of magnetic field conductors configured within the inline demagnetization device. The transmitted magnetic field can cause a reduction of magnetization present in the pipe. The inline demagnetization device can be positioned in a second location to further reduce the magnetization present at the second location.

Water leak detector device and leak detection procedure
11754461 · 2023-09-12 · ·

A device is produced as a small sphere with neutral buoyancy, within which there is, at least, one hydrophone that is connected to a signal processor, which stores the information on a memory card and that is powered by at least one battery. This signal processor has a clock module, through which the sailing time elapsed for each audio signal received by the hydrophone is recorded in the memory. Therefore, based on the sailing time, the exact position of the detected anomalies or leaks can be ascertained. The device is complemented by a series of external synchronisation systems, laid out every certain distance, by which the position error that could be accumulated by the device is neutralised. Thus, a simple device is attained, which is cheap, solid, durable and highly effective.
