Abstract Oil transportation is a vital process for various industrial sectors. Subsea/terrestrial transmission pipelines are prone to corrosion due to various properties of crude oil. When leaked, can disrupt and endanger aquatic and land environments and local communities. current pipe inspection gauges are limited in scope due to rigidity, increasing risk of leaking in unreachable pipes. This project aims to develop a multi-diameter accommodating inspection device.
