Discover Knitronix's cutting-edge solution for advanced pipeline monitoring, integrating
smart textile sensors with embedded fiber optic technology for the early detection of
critical issues like strain and gas leaks.
Our innovative technology delivers a system for continuous and precise monitoring,
specifically designed to detect strain (deformation) along the entire pipeline
infrastructure. Utilizing any technology (Brillouin, Raman or Raleigh) interrogator or
B-OTDR our system can identify strain within the pipe, translating line movements or gas
leaks into timely alarms.
Our proprietary textile sensors are designed for the continuous monitoring of the gas
network. Lab tests focused on gas dispersion confirmed the sensor's functionality in
detecting gas presence with extreme precision and very small delay.
Significantly contribute to the reduction of operational costs and risks for the population,
offering an efficient and sustainable tool for managing leaks in medium-pressure gas
networks (5 bar) and strain even in low pressure networks.
The Proof of Concept (PoC) tests conducted by Knitronix on testing units in air and under
the sand confirmed the sensor's operation and provided valuable data for measurement
accuracy with detected deformation as low as 2 mm.
