Underground pipelines are utilized for conveying liquid, gas or loose solid, pipeline leakage and damage occasionally resulting from corrosion. Corrosion monitoring of underground pipelines is aimed at ensuring their normal operation and preventing loss of life and property. In this paper, a new method to monitor corrosion of pipelines has been proposed to solve the mentioned problem. Under the influence of internal pressure and corrosion, the pipeline wall becomes thinner and the circumferential deformation increases. The method is to indirectly investigate pipeline corrosion by monitoring the circumferential deformation. Numerical simulation confirms that the circumferential strain curve of the pipeline wall measured by using the proposed method to describe the corrosion is feasible. The proposed method provides a new way for real-time and long-term monitoring and management of underground pipelines.展开更多
