摘要 |
A piezocable-based sensor for measuring unsteady pressures inside a pipe comprises at least one cable extending around at least a portion of a circumference of the pipe. The cable includes a first electrical conductor, a piezoelectric material disposed around the first electrical conductor, and a second electrical conductor disposed around the piezoelectric material. The sensor provides a signal indicative of unsteady pressure within the pipe in response to displacement of the pipe. In various embodiments, a band is wrapped around the at least one cable for compressing the at least one cable toward the pipe. In other embodiments, the sensor includes a clamp attached to opposing ends of the at least one cable for holding the at least one cable in tension around the pipe.
