Self-Sensing in Composite Repairs of Corrosion Defects |
Damage Prevention and Mitigation -- Damage Mitigation and Repair
|
Under Development |
| Description: | The PHMSA-funded technology focused on the investigating scaling and self-sensing in composite repairs of corrosion defects. Scaling was researched through a fatigue test program that compared the performance of patch-type composite repairs on small-scale pipeline specimens (6-inch NPS) to the... | ||

Small Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS) Gate Station and Pipeline Assets Inspection | Under Development | |
| Description: | The sUAS (drone) is being evaluated for inspections of gate stations and pipelines. NYSEARCH, working with its contractor Pictometry, deployed sUAS for test flights in 2015. Following this successful deployment, NuAir Alliance assisted NYSEARCH in obtaining an exemption to fly test flights without... | ||

State-of-the-Art (SOA) Corrosion Sensors |
Threats and Integrity Management -- Anomaly Detection and Characterization
|
Under Development |
| Description: | NYSEARCH, with its contractor Analatom, completed lab and field testing on corrosion sensors currently used by aircraft for corrosion monitoring. While primarily applied to coated steel, these sensors can measure corrosion rates in real time on the external surfaces of pipe using a unique linear... | ||
 |
Stress Concentration Tomography |
Threats and Integrity Management -- Anomaly Detection and Characterization
|
Commercial Product |
| Description: | The SCT™ utilizes the measurable relationship between stress and magnetization: changes in localized stress on the pipeline wall cause predictable changes in the pipeline’s natural magnetic field. The analysis of this remotely collected magnetic data is then used to determine the presence of... | ||
 |
Synergi Distribution Integrity Management Risk Model |
Pipeline Risk and Information Management -- Data Management and Information Systems
|
Commercial Product |
| Description: | Synergi Pipeline software enables gas distribution network and pipeline operations to documents risk, schedule and track inspection and compliance activities. It fits into existing GIS and enterprise management systems. The software integrates the early version of ‘Uptime’ software and data... | ||
 |
System of Printed Hybrid Intelligent Nano-Chemical Sensors (SPHINCS) |
Damage Prevention and Mitigation -- Leak Detection
|
Under Development |
| Description: | Printable sensing arrays that will be integrated into a cost-effective, highly sensitive methane detection system. The system will be based on sensor array foils containing multiple printed carbon nanotube (CNT) sensors and supporting electronics. Each sensor element will be modified with dopants,... | ||
 |
Technology for Early Detection of Internal Corrosion of Pipeline Integrity |
Threats and Integrity Management -- Anomaly Detection and Characterization
|
Under Development |
| Description: | Magnetostrictive sensor (MsS) technology involves the launching of a mechanical “guided wave” pulse of a relatively low frequency (typically under 100 kHz) along a pipeline. Signals reflected from defects or welds are detected at the launch location in the pulse-echo mode. This technology can... | ||
