The structure being monitored is a section of an oil pipeline with a length of approximately 6km, located in the Padana flat (north of Italy). The sensing cable was integrated around 10cm below the pipe and it lies on a sand bed. The DiTemp monitoring system has a max range of 4km with 2 Ch, and consequently it was located about in the middle of the 6km section.


 

Aim of monitoring:

Install a leakage detection system capable of monitoring the temperature profile along a section of the oil pipeline.

Main results:

Temperature profile along the pipeline.
