The New Magnetic Survey Method for Underwater Pipeline Detection

Abstract:

Magnetic survey has been applied to detect underwater pipeline location, tracking and depth more and more nowadays. In order to detect such smaller targets, besides the application of high-precision magnetometer detector, an effective method especial for underwater pipeline is needed. This paper is to research the magnetic survey method for detecting the underwater pipeline. In terms of its magnetic anomaly characteristic, magnetic sensor array and magnetic anomaly gradient method which can eliminate geomagnetic diurnal variation are adopted to detect the location, tracking and depth of underwater pipeline. Finally, the experiment has shown that this method has good detection accuracy and value in engineering application.
