The wall-thickness of insulated pipelines can be easily evaluated by measuring the gamma-ray transmission intensity because this intensity is inversely proportional to the thickness of insulated pipeline. The main purpose of this study is to develop the nondestructive and filmless on-line inspection system of corrosion by measuring the wall thickness of insulated pipeline. The inspection system is constructed with radioisotope, 64 channel photo diode array detector, crawler system and data taking and operating software. The traditional off-line radiographic method carried out by exposing film cassettes can be replaced by this cost-effective on-line digital imaging method and the application will be greatly expected especially in the chemical and petrochemical industries.

The thermally insulated underground pipelines have been used for district heating system. The sensor wire embedded in the insulation was used for monitoring the insulating resistance between the sensor wire and the pipe. The resistance measurement system detects corrosion of steel pipe under insulation. The corrosion and stress corrosion cracking(SCC) characteristics of sensor wire in synthetic ground water were investigated using the electrochemical methods and constant load SCC tests. The polarization tests were used to study the electrochemical behavior of sensor wire. The sensor wire was passivated at temperatures ranging from 25 to $95^{\circ}C$. However, the applied sensing current larger than passive current resulted in breakdown of passive film. The constant load SCC tests were performed to investigate the effects of applied current and load on the fracture behavior. Stress-corrosion cracks initiated at pits that were produced by sensing current. The growth of the pit involves a tunnelling mechanism, which leads to ductile fracture.

The intensity of x-ray or gamma-ray is attenuated according to density and thickness of the transmitted medium. In this study, by using this principle, on-line real-time radiometric system was developed using a 128 channels linear array of solid state detectors to measure wall thickness of insulated piping system. This system uses a Ir-192 as a gamma ray source and detector is composed of BGO scintillator and photodiode. Ir-192 gamma ray source and linear detector array mounted on a computer controlled robotic crawler. The Ir-192 gamma ray source is located on one side of the piping components and the detector array on the other side. The individual detectors of the detector array measure the intensity of the gamma rays after passing through the walls and the insulation of the piping component under measurement. The output of the detector array is amplified by amplifier and transmitted to the computer. This system collects and analyses the data from the detector array in real-time. The maximum measurable length of pipe is 120cm/mm. in the case of 1mm scanning interval.

When an underground pipeline runs parallel with DC traction systems, it suffers from DC traction interference. Because the train is fed by the substation through the overhead wire and return current back to the substation via the rails. If these return rails are poorly insulated from earth, DC current leak into the earth and can be picked up by nearby pipeline. It may bring about large-scale accidents even in cathodically protected systems. In this paper we analyze the cathodic protection systems of buried pipelines and DC traction stray current influence on it using the simulation software CatPro. We can discuss the problems and mitigation of DC traction interference for protected pipeline.

본 연구에서는 감마선과 섬광체 및 광 다이오드로 구성된 64 채널의 선형 디텍터 어레이를 이용하여 보온재로 싸인 배관의 두께를 실시간으로 측정하는 시스템을 개발하였다. 본 측정시스템은 감마선원으로 Ir-192를 사용하였으며, 디텍터는 BGO 섬광체와 광다이오드로 구성하였다. Ir-192 방사선원은 배관의 한쪽 편에, 그리고 디텍터 어레이는 배관을 중심으로 그 반대편에 위치하며 컴퓨터로 제어되는 주행 시스템에 실려 배관을 따라 이송되는 동안 배관과 단열재를 투과한 방사선의 강도는 각 디텍터에서 측정된다. 측정된 디텍터 어레이의 출력은 증폭기에서 증폭된 후 케이블에 의해 컴퓨터로 전송되며 주행시스템이 진행하는 동안 컴퓨터는 수집된 신호를 분석 및 계산하여 실제의 두께를 나타내며 주사간격을 1mm로 할 경우의 최대 측정속도는 분당 120cm이다.

내부가 비어 있거나 유체로 절반 채워진 보온 및 비보온 배관에 대해 방사선 조사 방향에 따른 투과두께와 농도 변화를 전산 시뮬레이션 하였다. 결과적으로 내부가 비어있는 배관의 경우 투과필름에서 농도 변화가 연속적이며 대칭적인 반면, 유체가 절반 채워진 배관의 경우는 방사선 조사 방향에 따라 농도 변화가 비대칭적이며 크게 달라질 수 있음을 알았다. 인공 결함을 가공한 탄소강 배관 시편을 방사선원 Ir-192로 방사선투과시험 한 뒤 농도 변화를 측정하고 이론적으로 계산한 농도 변화와 비교한 결과 산란 방사선에 의한 영향이 큰 가장자리를 제외한 부분에서는 농도 변화를 이용한 두께 평가가 가능함을 확인하였다.
