Problems solved by technology

[0003] There is currently no effective online monitoring method for the bottom plate of crude oil storage tanks. Periodic tank cleaning is generally used at home and abroad, followed by non-destructive testing, which consumes a lot of time, manpower and material resources, and the detection conclusion depends on human factors. human error
In particular, the small changes caused by external forces to the tank bottom cannot be effectively monitored by conventional non-destructive testing techniques, and the failure process is often the accumulation of micro-strains that eventually lead to plastic deformation of the tank bottom

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of storage tank monitoring, and in particular relates to an online monitoring device for deformation of a bottom plate of a storage tank based on an optical fiber grating. Background technique [0002] At present, crude oil storage tanks are important equipment for storing crude oil, and their safe operation is of great importance. Once an accident occurs, it will not only bring serious economic losses and personal casualties, but also bring adverse political, economic, and environmental impacts. There are many reasons for the failure of crude oil storage tanks, among which the damage to the bottom plate of the storage tank will directly lead to large-scale safety and environmental protection accidents such as crude oil leakage and storage tank destruction. From an electrochemical point of view, the bottom plate of a crude oil storage tank is prone to erosion due to the upper surface directly contacting crud...
