Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to measurement technology and can be used for determining the position of a pipeline in space. A device consists of a hardware portion and of a software portion; in the hardware portion, each of three gyroscopes and accelerometers of a strapdown inertial navigation system is connected to one orthogonal axis of an in-pipe inspection device. The software portion consists of algorithms for determining navigation parameters using a global satellite navigation system (GPS or/and GLONASS). Data are transcribed from the software portion and a calculation of navigation parameters is carried out on a computer using a special program. A method for determining the relative displacement of a pipeline consists in using data regarding measurements of the magnitudes and directions of linear displacements of a section of a pipeline, which data is based on the results of passing an in-pipe inspection device, having a hardware portion installed thereon, two or more times along the same section of a pipeline. The obtained data is arranged in tables and combined according to distance. The criterion for the existence of a pipeline displacement in an inspected site involves a curvature differential module exceeding a predetermined threshold value.
