The 3-dimensional measuring machine by using an ultrasonic sensor is used one of the NDE(Non Destructive Examination). It is applied to the inspection of pipelines, boreholes, pressure vessel and tank, and so on. In particular when a harsh environment prohibits the use of moving mechanical parts. The 3-dimensional measuring machine by using an ultrasonic sensor, which measure 1-dimensional information and 2-dimensional information simultaneously from a target of inspection, and then reembody 3-dimensional information. So we can find the situation in progress and predict remaining life and corrosion without destructive examination. It's a point of excellence that the 3-dimensional measuring machine is portable.

In order to improve safety for hydrogen network infrastructure, the ignition temperature by hot wire was investigated for different hydrogen compositions in pipelines. The result shows that minimum temperature for ignition decreased with decreasing hydrogen composition. The minimum temperature was confirmed at a hydrogen composition of approximately 10 vol.%. The one of the reasons is supposed that buoyancy force should generate the convection of gas mixture. It was also found that humidity had a little effect on ignition temperature, flame temperature.

In this study, the phenomena of hydrate formation and inhibition were investigated according to varying the concentrations using methanol and ethylene glycol as chemical additives. The results reveal that the used additives display better inhibition effects compared to pure water by decreasing the formation temperature and the inhibition performance of methanol is superior to that of ethylene glycol. As a conclusion, the plugging phenomena of flowline in natural gas product ion. subsea and frozen field pipelines can be predicted by examining the hydrate formation and inhibition conditions. Specifically, the results of this study can be applied to the selection of the prevention criteria and method of hydrate formation.

In analysis of pipelines or pipe network we calculated the friction loss using Hazen-Williams or Manning formula approximately, or found one by friction coefficient from Moody diagram graphically. The friction coefficient is determined as a function of relative roughness and Reynolds number. But the calculated friction coefficient by Hazen-Williams or Manning formula considered roughness of pipe or velocity of flow. The friction coefficient in Darcy-Weisbach equation was obtained from the Moody diagram. This method is manual and is not exact from reading. This paper is presented numerical solution of Colebrook-White formula including variables of relative roughness and Reynolds number. The suggested subroutine program by an efficient linear iteration scheme can be applied to any pipe network system.

The current paper focuses the analysis of leakage detection in water pipeline systems by means of the transient analysis. In order to obtain pressure variation for evaluation the existing methodology, an extensive experimental process has been carried out in a single pipeline system. Several experimental tests were performed with and without a leakage in the system. Using the unsteady friction and improved unsteady friction factors, reasonable match between the computed and measured pressure were presented on the condition of the flow situations. The transient method attempts to estimate the leakage in water pipelines using observed pressure data collected during transient events on the system.

The Planning characteristics of the canals linking river basins and estuary reservoirs have been reviewed in relation to the trend widening the areas of water resources planning. It has been also tried to justify the characteristics of the link canals in the history of irrigation development. It was concluded that the link canals were resulted from the most recent technology as far as irrigation systems were concerned, why these were long- and large-scale multipurpose canals ； the hydraulic heads of the link canals could be controlled easily ； and which consisted of open channels, pipelines and control reservoirs. The types and general characteristics of the canals have been reviewed, and the fundamental concept and characteristics in the planning of the canals have been described.

In this study, the reflection of the L(0,2), axially symmetric guided elastic wave from defects in pipes above ground is examined using finite element method. Phase and group velocity dispersion curves for the pipe were presented for the selection of the excitation mode. Some simple signal processing was applied to determine the amplitude of each of the reflected waves and to calculate the reflection coefficient. The results show the reflection coefficient of this mode is very close to a linear function of the circumferential extent of the defect. The motivation for the work was the development of a technique for inspecting chemical plant pipelines, but the study addresses the nature of the reflection function and its general applicability.

In this study, an optical-fiber sensor was used to measure loads that could act in an environment similar to the loading conditions that exist in an actual pipe. The structure and the installation method of the optical-fiber strain sensor were applied considering the actual large pipe and the buried pipe environment. Load tests were performed using a displacement sensor and sandbags to determine the deflection of the pipe according to the external load, and the linear measurement results were verified. Considering the conditions that could exist in the actual pipe, the test method was presented, and the strain of the buried pipe generated at this time was measured.

In case of a line-to-ground fault at transmission lines, a portion of fault current will flow into the earth through the footings of the faulted tower causing electrical potential rise nearby the faulted tower footings. In this situation, any buried pipelines or structures nearby the faulted tower can be exposed to the electrical stress by earth potential rise. Although many research works has been conducted on this phenomena, there has been no clear answer of the required separation distance between tower footings and neary buried pipeline because of its dependancy on the soil electrical charactersics of the concerned area and the faulted system.

광역상수도관에 대하여 외면부식직접평가(ECDA)를 실시하였다. ECDA평가는 과거 방식이력 등에 대한 사전검사, CIPS-DCVG-비저항 측정의 3단계 간접검사를 통해서 배관의 부식가능성이 큰 지점을 검출하여 위험성 우선순위를 판정하고 최종적으로 굴착을 통한 직접 검사 우선순위를 선정하였다. 직접 검사후 사후단계로 수집한 모든 데이터를 종합적으로 분석하여 검사구간의 건전성을 종합 평가를 하였다. 이러한 검사기법을 도입함으로써 배관의 부식위험지역을 파악하고 적절한 조치를 취할 수 있는 체계적인 근거를 마련한 것으로 판단하였다.
