Pipeline Inspection Smart Ball

Pipeline Inspection Smart Ball

The spherical internal detector is launched into the pipeline under pressure via a launch-and-receiver device. The liquid flow propels the detector sphere. Sensors mounted inside the sphere, including hydrophones, pressure gauges, thermometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers, capture signals from the pipeline. After the detector is retrieved, the data is analyzed to identify information such as pipeline leaks, direction of travel, and magnetic fields. During the detection process, probes can be deployed on the ground to mark the path and time of the detector sphere's movement, improving detection accuracy.

Application fields

 

This tool works great for long, straight pipelines with no branches-like oil lines, heating mains, water transmission lines, and city water networks. You can run the inspection while the pipe is still under pressure, no need to shut it down.

Right now, it's already widely used on oil pipelines, and we've got it running on some water supply lines too. In one single pass, you can inspect dozens of kilometers in one go. No stop-and-go, no extra downtime.

 

Why Choose US

 

This spherical detector is hands-down the easiest, most reliable way to check your pipes.

 

It goes in while the pipeline is still running, no shutdown needed. The flow pushes it along, so you don't have to stop production or service.

 

Inside the sphere, sensors catch every little sound and change. When you pull it out, you get clear data on leaks, direction, and more. Ground markers make the location even more precise.

 

It covers dozens of kilometers in one go. It spots tiny leaks starting at just 0.2 L/min, before they turn into big, costly problems. It works with almost any pipe material, pressure, or liquid-oil, water, chemicals, whatever you're moving. It runs in freezing cold and sweltering heat, and has battery life to handle ultra-long runs.

 

We've already used it widely on oil pipelines, and it's working great on water lines too. It keeps your pipes online, catches issues early, and saves you the hassle and expense of shutdowns and emergency repairs.
