<p>METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR INDICATING SELECTED PHYSICAL PARAMETERS IN A PIPELINE A method of detecting inadequately supported sections or overloaded points in a pipeline including the steps of traversing the interior of the pipeline with an instrumentation pig, sequentially striking or vibrating the wall of the pipeline by means carried by the pig to introduce vibratory signals into the pipeline, receiving said signals from within the pipeline by listening to the sounds generated as a consequence of the striking of the interior wall, and detecting preselected characteristics of received sound which are indicative of unsupported sections or of points of load and stress concentration in the pipeline.</p> |
