Outlooks for application of pipe connectors with integral measuring instruments for monitoring stress-strain behavior of process pipelines
This article shows that designing and implementation of the systems for continuous automated monitoring of the technical status of the process pipelines at the compressor stations are promising in respect to perfection of their diagnostic support. These systems will rise reliability of the compressor stations in general.Relevance of a worked out smart-chip architecture for systems aimed at monitoring of the stress-strain behavior of the process pipelines at compressor stations was con rmed by calculations and tests. Improvement of validity (error is less than 10% per components) of the stress-strain behavior estimations for the process pipelines in case of the prefabricated installation of the inline measuring instruments was substantiated theoretically and experimentally.
