However, this measuring method is carried out by running an inertial sensor on the pipe to be measured. In this case, it is conceivable that there is some clearance between the inner surface of the running pipe to be measured and the inertial sensor, or that the clearance between the inner surface of the conduit and the inertial sensor is eliminated by spring support. However, in both cases, the inertial sensor causes pitching and yawing, and the amount of this jump also appears in the measurement result, so that there is a problem that the displacement amount of the measurement target pipeline cannot be correctly measured.

For this reason, the inertial sensor 12 causes a jump phenomenon as shown in FIG. That is, pitching and yawing occur. This means that the displacement amount of the conduit 10 from the reference position cannot be measured correctly.

The principle of the eddy current displacement sensor is as follows. When a metal such as iron is placed in a high frequency magnetic field, electromagnetic induction causes an eddy current depending on the magnetic field and distance on the metal surface. This eddy current produces a magnetic field in the opposite direction to the magnetic field that generated it. Therefore, when the sensor having the high frequency generating coil approaches a metal such as iron, the magnetic field generated by the coil is attenuated according to the distance. The distance between the metal and the sensor can be known by measuring this degree of attenuation.

On the basis of such a principle, each gap sensor can measure the distance from the wall surface facing it, but in order to further improve the measurement accuracy, it is the same on the opposite side of the gap sensor SF1 as shown in FIG. Gap sensor SF1 '
Further, a similar gap sensor SF2 ′ is arranged on the opposite side of the gap sensor SF2 to measure the distance between the vertical wall W1 ′ or the lower side wall W2 ′ on the opposite side and each gap sensor SF1 ′, SF2 ′. And the gap sensors SF1 and SF

It is assumed that the measurement distance of the gap sensor SF2 is L2 and the measurement distance of the gap sensor SR2 is L1. In this case, the following equation holds. tan θ = (L2−L1) / L0 From this equation, the pitching angle θ of the inertial sensor 12 can be calculated.
