Abstract:
The system utilizes conductivity equipment as well as a camera, pressure sensor, and acoustic hydrophone within a probe deployed via cable into a pipe to be inspected. The probe completes an electric circuit back to ground when the probe is adjacent a defect through which electric currents can pass, thus producing varying electric current. The camera, incorporated into the electric probe, is utilized for both inspection and navigation through the pipe by providing a close-circuit video data feed. The pressure sensor detects alterations in the pressure and flow field of the fluidic region in the area of a leak. The acoustic hydrophone listens for the sound leaks in a pressurized pipeline. The inspection device is tethered to a cable and inserted a measured distance into the pipeline, typically with the pipeline under pressure, via a launch tube. Multi-sensor data versus pipeline position is thus obtained.

Claim (Index 6):
The system of  claim 5  wherein said distance sensor is in communication with an on-site PC-based processor having a display associated therewith, said on-site PC-based processor also in communication with said electric meter and said multi-sensor probe, said processor correlating distance sensor data with data from said electric meter and said multi-sensor probe for display of sensor data versus probe position in a graph.
