Abstract: A first time difference calculation unit calculates a time difference Δt1 between the timing of detection of vibration that indicates the first vibration mode of a pipe P and the timing of detection of vibration that indicates a second vibration mode of the pipe P by processing a result of a measurement . A second time difference calculation unit calculates a time difference Δt2 between the timing of detection of vibration that indicates the first vibration mode of the pipe P and the timing of detection of vibration that indicates the second vibration mode of the pipe P by processing a result of another measurement. A leakage position calculation unit uses the time differences Δt1, Δt2, and a space interval I between the first vibration detection unit and the first time difference calculation unit to calculate a leakage position in the pipe P.

Abstract: Degradation of a pipe can be easily detected. A piping inspection system 1 includes an excitation unit 100, a wave detection unit 210, and a diagnosis unit 220. The excitation unit 100 excites waves of different wave modes simultaneously at a first position of a pipe 300. The wave detection unit 210 detects the waves of different wave modes at a second position of the pipe 300. The diagnosis unit 220 diagnoses degradation of the pipe 300 based on a velocity of one of the waves of different wave modes, the velocity being calculated by using a detection time difference between the waves of different wave modes.

Abstract: A piezoelectric vibration sensor includes a piezoelectric element which is in a form of flat plate, an element holding plate which is in a form of flat plate, and first and second support members. An electrode is arranged on at least one plane of the piezoelectric element. The piezoelectric element is joined to one plane of the piezoelectric element. The first support member and the second support member support the piezoelectric element and the element holding plate. A vibration film activates vibration of the element holding plate between the first support member and the second support member. Moreover, the element holding plate is joined to each of the first support member and the second support member through the vibration film. As a result, it is possible to obtain high sensitivity in a wide frequency range and to withstand an impact which is added from the outside.
