Pipeline Inspection Crawler for Fault Detection

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Pipelines, a cost-effective method for fluid delivery, degrade over time due to factors like corrosion,leading to leaks and environmental contamination. Regular inspections are crucial for maintaining optimaloperation. In-pipe inspection robots (IPIRs) offer a superior alternative to manual inspection, utilizing visualand non-destructive testing methods. Various IPIR designs include wheel-driven, track-driven, wall-press,and pipe inspection gauge (PIG) robots. Manual inspection requires significant time and effort, while roboticinspection allows for fast, accurate, and low-cost examinations. The unique 6W chassis design and cameraequipped robot enhance pipeline inspection efficiency, reducing the need for costly replacements.
