Direct Measurement of Strain

Monitoring and understanding the intricate strain patterns in pipelines is crucial for their integrity and safety. We crafted a state-of-the-art data collection system with Kiefner’s advanced vibrating wire strain gauges mounted directly onto the pipeline. This system is adept at transmitting strain values to a user-friendly dashboard at predetermined intervals, enabling clients to be instantly alerted of ground shifts resulting from seismic activities or subsidence, commonly witnessed in scenarios like long wall mining.

• Distance Calculation: At the project’s inception, our experts employ a beam model approach, considering known pipe properties, to meticulously calculate the optimum distance between sensors.
• Threshold Setting: Kiefner seamlessly collaborates with your operations and engineering teams. We aim to evaluate historical data and ensure informed threshold alarms are implemented for proactive monitoring.
