Drone for natural gas pipeline inspection

The safety of natural gas pipelines is related to the safety of natural gas use. Today, inspectors from Wuhan Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspection and Research Institute conducted a safety drone inspection on the pipeline of a natural gas station.

Ping'anpu Natural Gas Station's pipelines mainly transport liquefied natural gas and gasified natural gas, and the pipelines in the station exceed two kilometers. In this inspection, in addition to conducting inspections on the ground, an unmanned aerial vehicle also assisted in observations from the air.

Huang Pu, Inspector of Wuhan Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspection Institute: The drone is equipped with an infrared probe, which can sense the temperature. Look at this pipeline. If the temperature here is abnormal and different from other places, then this place may be possible. There has been a leak, which has greatly improved our work efficiency. In the past, it was dangerous to climb up to such a high position, and it was a waste of time.

UAV observations in the sky, and ground inspectors are also conducting detailed investigations. According to the inspector, the most critical parts of pressure pipeline inspection are welds, elbows, tees, etc. The pipe fittings are connected with pipes, valves, etc. through welds, and radiographic inspection technology is used to detect welds.
