PIPE ELEMENT FITTED WITH A MONITORING SYSTEM

摘要

An element (1) is intended to be mounted at an end of a pipe suited to the circulation of a fluid in order to extend it. The element (1) comprises a hollow profiled body (3) having a peripheral surface and a protective covering (11) at least partially covering this peripheral surface. The element (1) further comprises a sensor of the guided waves type (5), control electronics (7) for the guided wave sensor (5) and an electric cable (9) designed to connect the control electronics (7) to corresponding electronics (7) of the pipe in question. The electric cable (9) and the guided wave sensor (5) are fixed to the peripheral surface of the body (3) under at least part of the protective covering (11).
