Spark Plug Probe Detects Pipe Corrosion in Oil Lines
Emeryville scientist Philip Raifsnider developed a spark plug device for Shell Oil to sense internal water pipe corrosion. The system lights a bulb outside when the metal strip remains intact, signaling maintenance needs before leaks occur. It adapts to other pipes by swapping the metal ribbon and can cut leaks, with Crest Instrument Co. licensed to manufacture.
