Pipeline Damage Detection Using Echo Sensors

This project is mainly focused to find out the obstacles that present inside the pipeline by using a robot. It is very useful to find out the minuet cracks that occurred inside the pipe. This application is very helpful for the industrial area. Find out any leakage and toxic-gas that happened inside the pipe by using this method.The heart of this equipment is a microcontrollerbased system which controlled and co-ordinate all the parameters. The microcontroller-based system attached with a robotic vehicle. The program loaded in microcontroller, control the movement of robot. Ultra-sonic sensors are used to find out the obstacles of pipe and also RPM sensors are used to find out the distance of the robot from the starting point. By using this rpm sensor it's also finding out the cracks location by distance measurement. Gsm/Gprs modules are used to communicate with the vehicle for the forward and backward movement. If any inconvenient data is occurred, that data is transmit to the control station via ZigBee module. L293D IC is used to connect the dc motors.
