A long time operation of pipelines can lead to the reduction of their wall thickness. This process is accelerated by high temperature and variable pressure of the transported medium and can finally cause mechanical failures along with leaks and danger of explosion. The aim of this paper is to present a new method for the detection of abraded walls in industrial pipelines using the time-frequency analysis. The results of transient temperature measurements are used for the calculation of the thermal time constants corresponding - as demonstrated - to the pipeline wall thickness.
