  • Patent number: 12693143
    Abstract: A system for monitoring flow of fluid through a pipeline is disclosed. The system includes a ferromagnetic strip mounted on an outer surface of the pipeline. A solenoid coil is wound around the ferromagnetic strip and is connectable to a power source. A plurality of magnets is positioned over the solenoid coil, wherein each of the plurality of magnets are positioned at a pre-defined orientation with respect to longitudinal axis of the pipeline. A processing unit is communicatively coupled to the solenoid coil. The processing unit generates a plurality of wave modes in the pipeline by supplying power to the solenoid coil in concurrence with the plurality of magnets and the ferromagnetic strip. The processing unit is configured to receive a plurality of wave signals reflected and are then compared with pre-defined wave signals by the processing unit to monitor flow of fluid through the pipeline.
