Electrical Current Measurement Device for Buried Pipe

Buried pipes such as gas pipes may be subject to corrosion when electric currents flow out from the sides of pipes into the surrounding ground.

This measurement device has been designed as an easy-to-use method of measuring the electrical current flowing through out from buried pipe when direct current is forced to flow intermittently through the pipe from outside. The measurement provides basic data informing of the buried pipe's insulation condition and the speed at which corrosion is progressing.

<Features>
1. The device is flexible and light in weight (700g), because the sensor does not include an iron core.
Current can be measured simply by being wound around the outside of a pipe regardless of the
pipe's diameter .
2. Zero balance adjustment is not needed.
3. Excellent portability and easiness of maintenance, because the main measurement unit is
powered by batteries.

<Standard Specifications>
1. Sensor dimensions: 15ø x 2500mm (It is capable of measuring pipes of diameters up to 600mm)
Custom orders are accepted.
2. Max. measurable current: 20A
3. Sensitivity: 0.1V/1A
4. Precision: Output voltage value converted; ±3%, ±0.1V

SW Development for Measurement and Control Applications Used LabVIEW

LabVIEW, which is a kind of programming language based on graphic language known as G, is specialized for the construction of computer-based measurement and control applications.

LabVIEW adopts a style in which users assemble graphic programs called virtual instrument (VI), rather than writing text based programs.

The user selects an object (icon) from the function pallet and sets up a data delivery route by connecting each block to the next using a wire.

Accordingly, development productivity using LabVIEW is 5 ~ 10 times as high as with conventional methods.

<Favorite Solutions>
1. Measurement analysis
2. Measurement control
3. Data recording and control
4. Machine observation and control
5. Process control and industrial automation
6. Motion control and image recording
