低成本、耐用、重量轻、耐腐蚀的非金属管道和复合部件的使用在石油和天然气工业等各个工业领域以非金属复合管道的形式迅速增长。虽然这些部件仍然容易损坏，但传统的无损检测（NDT）技术（例如涡流技术和漏磁技术）无法用于检查这些部件。微波成像作为一种有利的非金属管道检测技术可以填补这一空白。全息微波成像技术快速而稳定，已成功应用于机场安全检查和地下成像等应用。在这里，我们将全息微波成像的使用扩展到多个同心管道的检查。为了提高数据采集速度，我们在圆柱形设置中沿方位角方向使用天线阵列。将提供所提议的成像系统的性能的参数研究和演示。
The use of non-metallic pipes and composite components that are low-cost, durable, light-weight, and resilient to corrosion is growing rapidly in various industrial sectors such as oil and gas industries in the form of non-metallic composite pipes. While these components are still prone to damages, traditional non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques such as eddy current technique and magnetic flux leakage technique cannot be utilized for inspection of these components. Microwave imaging can fill this gap as a favorable technique to perform inspection of non-metallic pipes. Holographic microwave imaging techniques are fast and robust and have been successfully employed in applications such as airport security screening and underground imaging. Here, we extend the use of holographic microwave imaging to inspection of multiple concentric pipes. To increase the speed of data acquisition, we utilize antenna arrays along the azimuthal direction in a cylindrical setup. A parametric study and demonstration of the performance of the proposed imaging system will be provided.
