    • A method and apparatus for monitoring a pipeline expansion joint, in particular the conditions of a pressure-balanced expansion joint. A sensor is positioned so as to sense one or more physical characteristics of a pipeline fluid flow. A signal generated by the sensor(s) is received by a suitably configured electronic controller. The controller, in turn, is connected to a flow control valve, that is movable between at least an “off” or “no-flow” position, and a flow permitting position, connecting a source of compressible medium and the volume confined between the two (or more) balancing bellows of a pressure-balanced expansion joint. An accumulator may also be provided, that may be connectable via the flow control valve, to the confined volume. The controller will be operably configured to cause the valve to be moved, in response to signals received from the sensor(s) that correspond to stored numerical data in the controller that represent different potential operating conditions. In an alternative embodiment, the controller may also be suitably connected to various external communication devices, for communication of a signal representative of, e.g., a failure condition, to a predesignated recipient.

    • A notification system for monitoring and detecting the integrity of an expansion joint and delivering an indication of the expansion joint's integrity to a remote location. The preferred embodiment of the apparatus is comprised of a sensor for detecting the environments condition between two or more plies of a bellows, and transmitting a corresponding signal to a control apparatus, the control apparatus capable of making a comparative analysis of the sensor's signal with two or more predetermined parameters. Based upon the results of the comparative analysis, if the control apparatus determines the deviation in the environmental characteristics are unacceptable, the control apparatus transmits a signal to a message transmittal apparatus which transforms the signal into a communication signal. The communication signal is then transmitted to a remote location as notification of the expansion joint's integrity in the form of, but not limited to, a phone call, voice mail, electronic mail, pager message, facsimile, or web site.
    • 一种通知系统,用于监测和检测扩展接头的完整性,并将扩展接头的完整性的指示传递给远程位置。 该装置的优选实施例包括用于检测波纹管的两个或更多个层之间的环境状况的传感器,并将相应的信号发送到控制装置,该控制装置能够对传感器信号进行两次比较分析 或更多的预定参数。 基于比较分析的结果,如果控制装置确定环境特性的偏差是不可接受的,则控制装置将信号发送到将信号变换为通信信号的消息传送装置。 然后,通信信号作为扩展接头的完整性的通知以电话呼叫,语音邮件,电子邮件,寻呼机消息,传真机或网站的形式而不限于此被发送到远程位置。
