Recent development has allowed composite wrapping to be used to cure and protect the corroded pipeline from further corrosion. However, the integrity of the pipeline and the composite wrapping become a question mark since engineers were unable to determine the curing process progress. Hence, to meet the present day technologies, humidity sensor is proposed to be used in this project to monitor humidity underneath composite wrapping to determine the integrity of the pipeline and the composite wrapping. The project will be executed starting with the type of sensors analysis and sensors characterization; aim to increase the accuracies. Then move to the test jig development phase and lastly the test jigs testing with various condition. By the end of this project, the functionality of the humidity sensor underneath composite material will be determined. Hence, positive result will provide a platform for a company to use the sensors to evaluate the integrity of the pipeline underneath composite wrapping.
