Abstract
Internal pipe corrosion in water distribution systems causes iron oxide deposits, contaminating water and posing health risks. This study presents a dual-mode method using ultrasound and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to quantify pipe corrosion. Scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM) generates high-resolution images of pipe thickness and measures iron oxide concentration in water. CNN analysis of SAM data achieves 95% accuracy in assessing corrosion extent and water contamination.
