Abstract

This paper presents the sensitivity map generation of Electrical Resistance Tomography (ERT) for a system using conducting vessel pipe. A finite element model software using 2D COMSOL model consisting of 16 electrodes were attached invasively in a stainless steel pipe to solve for the forward problem. The conducting boundary approach was applied to the system to avoid the grounding effect.
