ABSTRACT
The piping system is the best option for
the transportation of oils and natural gases as this
pipe ranges a large distance. But there is the
possibility of defects such as crack, or corrosion on
the wall of pipes. So in order to detect any defect on
the interior surface of pipe, non-destructive testing
methods are employed. As the pipeline is so long, it
is impossible to go and check manually. So robots
are deployed inside the pipe line for inspection. In
some cases inspection of defects using a single robot
is not accurate. Therefore in this present disclosure
a series of the robots are deployed in the pipeline
which moves to and fro motion to cover certain
distance. The deployed series of robots detect the
defect by using the ultrasonic non-destructive
testing. Ultrasonic inspection is the technologyused
to test the objects by directing the higher frequency
sound waves onto the object to find defects on both
surface and internal. This beam travels through the
object with some loss, except when it is diverted and
reflected by a discontinuity.

1. INTRODUCTION
Designing structures like solid surface, pillars
are frequently exposed to weakness stress,
cyclic stacking, that prompts the splits that
generally start at the infinitesimal dimension on
the structure's surface. The breaks on the
structure decrease nearby solidness and cause
material discontinuities. Early discovery enables
preventive measures to be taken to anticipate
harm and conceivable disappointment. Split
discovery is the way toward recognizing the
break in the structures utilizing any of the
handling strategies. The break discovery can be
made in two different ways. They are
Destructive Testing and Non-Destructive testing.
By fusing the visual examination and reviewing
devices, surface condition insufficiencies are
evaluated.The goal of the sort, number, width
and length of the breaks on the basic surface
demonstrates the most punctual debasement
level and conveying limit of the solid
structures.For quick and dependable surface
imperfection investigation, Automatic split
location is created rather than the slower
emotional conventional human assessment
systems. In this way a more secure overview

approach is adjusted. Programmed break
discovery is viable for Non-ruinous testing.
Broken water funnels present difficult issues for
urban areas, as it prompts the loss of about a
billion liters of clean drinking water each day. A
self-driving robot, called Tubebot, an upkeep
robot intended for use in the funneling of urban
drinking water frameworks. Tubebot is an
independent robot that creates power from the
weight of water to control itself and keep it
moving. The framework ultrasonically filters the
entire length of the channeling framework and
sends the information to a remote area. Along
these lines the breaks are identified utilizing this
robot.
PROPOSED CRACK DETECTION
A.EXISTING SYSTEM:
A broad system of pipeline frameworks is utilized to
transport and circulate national vitality assets that
vigorously impact a country's economy. Hence, the
auxiliary uprightness of these pipeline frameworks must
be observed and kept up. Be that as it may, basic harm
recognition remains a test in pipeline building. To this
end, this investigation built up a changed
electromechanical impedance (EMI) system for split
recognition that includes melding data from different
sensors. We inferred another harm delicate component
factor dependent on a pipeline EMI display that
considers the impact of the holding layer between the
EMI sensors and pipeline. We tentatively approved the
viability of the proposed technique. At last, we utilized a
harm list—root implies square deviation—to inspect the
degree and position of break harm in a pipeline.
B.PROPOSED SYSTEM
Ultrasonic Inspection Robots from INSPECTOR SYSTEMS
have been exceptionally created for making nitty gritty
estimations of the thickness of pipe dividers utilizing
ultrasonic methods. These robots are particularly
reasonable for use in channels laid under the ground and
pipes with long vertical inclines.The robots are
comprised of three drive components which are
associated together utilizing adaptable collapsing howls
and obviously, one ultrasonic module. The robots can
travel both level and vertical areas of pipe with a speed
of 200 m/h. Indeed, even curves and turns with a
measurement of 1.5 D are no deterrent. Because of their
self-moved development, the robots don't should be
pushed through the funneling. The Ultrasonic Inspection
Robot is associated with its control unit through a tear
evidence glass fiber link. Because of the smooth surface
of the link, vast segments of pipe of a few hundred
meters long and pipe frameworks containing numerous
twists and vertical segments can be reviewed.

5. Execution MONITORING
Execution checking of PIMS exercises is fundamental so
as to recognize weaknesses and make redresses. The
nonattendance of a disappointment in itself does not
suggest that specialized trustworthiness is being
accomplished. Evaluation of execution enables patterns
to be recognized and the adequacy of remedies to be
estimated. Evaluated execution pointers could include:
• Failures,
• Cathodic security blackouts,
• Corrosion rates,
• Departures from configuration working
conditions
• Third party impacts.

This circuit is a little +5V control supply, which is
valuable while trying different things with computerized
gadgets. Little economical divider transformers with
variable yield voltage are accessible from any gadgets
shop and general store. Those transformers are
effectively accessible, however more often than not their
voltage guideline is poor, which makes then not entirely
usable for computerized circuit experimenter except if a

superior guideline can be accomplished somehow or
another. The accompanying circuit is the response to the
issue. This circuit can give +5V yield at around 150 mA
current, however it very well may be expanded to 1 A
when decent cooling is added to 7805 controller chip.

7.1 PIC MICROCONTROLLER:
GENERAL:
The 16F877A is a skilled microcontroller that
can do numerous errands since it has a
sufficiently huge programming memory
(expansive as far as sensor and control
ventures) 8k words and 368 Bytes of RAM. This
is sufficient to do various undertakings. The 40
pins make it less demanding to utilize the
peripherals as the capacities are spread out over
the pins. This makes it simpler to choose what
outside gadgets to append without stressing
excessively if there are sufficient pins to carry
out the responsibility. One of the primary
preferences is that each stick is just shared
between a few capacities so its less demanding
to choose what the stick work.
7.2 LDR SENSOR
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A light reliant resistor takes a shot at the
guideline of photograph conductivity. Photograph
conductivity is an optical wonder in which the materials
conductivity is expanded when light is consumed by the
material. At the point when light falls for example at the
point when the photons fall on the gadget, the electrons
in the valence band of the semiconductor material are
eager to the conduction band. These photons in the
episode light ought to have vitality more prominent than
the band hole of the semiconductor material to make the
electrons hop from the valence band to the conduction
band. Consequently when light having enough vitality
strikes on the gadget, an ever increasing number of
electrons are eager to the conduction band which results
in huge number of charge bearers. The aftereffect of this
procedure is an ever increasing number of current
begins moving through the gadget when the circuit is
shut and consequently it is said that the obstruction of
the gadget has been diminished.

8. LEAKAGE DETCTION AND REPAIR
. Hole Detection and Repair Strategies There are
different techniques for identifying water dispersion
framework spills. These techniques more often than not
include utilizing sonic hole discovery hardware, which
distinguishes the sound of water getting away from a
pipe. What's more, associated gadgets can tune in at two
at the same time to pinpoint the careful area of a hole.
Substantial holes don't really establish the best volume
of lost water, especially if water achieves the surface
where they are normally found immediately,
disconnected, and fixed. Notwithstanding, undetected
releases, even little ones, can prompt extensive amounts
of lost water since these holes may exist for quite a
while. Choosing a methodology relies on the recurrence
of breaks in a 6 given pipe and the relative expenses to
supplant and fix them
CONCLU SION
