Suslov A.V., Yaroslavkina E.E.  Application of statistical methods for investigating the relationship between the parameters of acoustic oscillations in a pipeline section and the thickness of deposits

The detection of paraffin sediments on internal walls of process equipment and pipeline is a topical issue. The sediments impair equipment operation and require periodic cleaning. The thickness of deposits requires timely and precise measuring. The paper investigates the relationship between the parameters of acoustic oscillations in a pipeline section and the thickness of deposits on its inside wall. The dependencies of oscillation frequency, energy, and duration on the deposit thickness are established. They will underlie the method of deposit thickness measurement on the internal walls of process equipment and pipelines.
