Abstract
Disclosed is a method for detecting a blowout in an irrigation pipe being formed by an extrusion manufacturing process. The irrigation pipe is extruded. Further a positive air pressure inside the irrigation pipe may be created by circulating air through the irrigation pipe during the extrusion manufacturing process. The irrigation pipe with positive air pressure is then fed into a tank, wherein the tank comprises a coolant liquid. Further at least one air bubble is trapped at a surface of the tank.
Claims2
A method for detecting a blowout in an irrigation pipe, the method comprising:
- extruding the irrigation pipe;
- creating a positive air pressure in the irrigation pipe, wherein the positive air pressure is created by circulating air through the irrigation pipe;
- feeding the irrigation pipe, with the positive air pressure, into a tank, wherein the tank comprises a coolant liquid;
- and
- trapping at least one air bubble at a surface of the tank by transferring the at least one bubble to the surface;
- and
- sensing of the at least one air bubble at the surface of the tank using a piezoelectric sensor, or an ultrasonic sensor.
