Abstract

L'invention concerne un bateau sous-marin équipé pour l'inspection des pipelines en vue de la détection des fuites éventuelles par des moyens acoustiques. Le bateau 1 est muni d'au moins deux hydrophones directionnels 4, 5 qui sont acoustiquement accessibles de l'extérieur et qui sont orientés en direction du pipeline 2 à partir de divers emplacements du bateau. Application à l'inspection des pipelines.The invention relates to an underwater boat equipped for inspecting pipelines with a view to detecting possible leaks by acoustic means. The boat 1 is provided with at least two directional hydrophones 4, 5 which are acoustically accessible from the outside and which are oriented towards the pipeline 2 from various locations on the boat. Application to the inspection of pipelines.
