Introduction Pipeline system are widely used for distribution and
transportation of petroleum, natural gas, water and sewage. During
their service life, the pipelines face many threats such as bending
and buckling. These damages occurs due to Temperature change
Internal pressure Ground movement. 4

Objective To find the life time of pipes To rapidly detect damages
in pipes To secure humans life due to the damage or leakage of gas
in pipes To save power by using wireless network to detect specific
leakage point in real time. To reduce pipeline rupture in short
interval of times by signal networks. 6

Conclusions In this project Strain gauges are used to detect the
compression and tension in long pipe during bending. The proposed
technique is a type of nondestructive tests that allows the
examination of pipeline structural health without causing any
damage to the material. The gathered information provide valuable
information regarding strain. 28
