An apparatus (100) for determining the conditions of a pipeline (201) and for the analysis of the fluid contained therein comprising: a central body (101) having a substantially cylindrical form perforated for the whole length and comprising at least a salinity sensor and at least a pH measurement sensor; a first crown of petals (102) connected to the central body, wherein each petal extends from the central body (101) until it touches the internal wall of the pipeline (201) and wherein each petal comprises at least one deformation sensor and at least one roughness sensor; a sliding device integrally connected to the central body (101) in a more advanced position with respect to the first crown of petals (102), wherein said sliding device can be a second crown of petals (103) identical to the first crown of petals or a foam pig (104) suitably perforated. A further object of the invention relates to a method for determining the conditions of a pipeline and for the analysis of the fluid contained therein, which uses an apparatus according to the present invention. |
