“Pipe Inspection Robot” – Review
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
a pipe inspection robot is a device or an instrument use to inspect and clean the pipe either an industrial or nonindustrial. This is an innovation that took place in recent year to eliminate the human factor from the work of inspecting and cleaning the pipe which is a risky task. Pipe inspection robots are used in many fields of industry and also in other work such ask cleaning and maintaining the city pipe line. The work of industrial pipe inspection robot is to monitor the inside view of the pipes, to keep the notice on the various changes and recognizing the irrelevant changes, which may cause problem and to take preventive action to prevent the problem. If the problem has been recorded then take initiative action to solve the problem. Though the industrial pipe inspection robot is monitoring the inside view of pipes still it can find out the outer surface problem of pipe such as crack formation and this can be done with the help of ultrasonic sensors, which will be a part of our project. The pipe inspection robot can be use for the cleaning purpose by adding and attachment to it, such as scrapper which will scrap out the unwanted dross from the pipes. Automated inspection of the inner and outer surface of a pipe can be achieved by a mobile robot i.e Radio Frequency controlled robot, which uses relays and microprocessor with RF receiver to transmutes the single. Because pipelines are typically buried underground or they are bolted on walls, they are in contact with the soil, atmospheric air and subject to corrosion. This condition under which pipe lives may cause the reactions due to which it may get subjected to problem such as corrosion and this corrosion can occur on both sides of outer, due to conditions and inner, due to the fluid it carrying. Hence the strength of pipe reduces. If crack goes undetected and becomes severe, the pipe can leak, leads to loss. Pipe inspection is necessary to maintain the plant in best working conditions by detecting the problem and preventing them or making them correct at time. In this work, we made a pipe inspection robot based on four bar linkage with actuators to give movement and it can travel according to the shape and position of pipes.
