Abstract
“The Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is an electronic unit which records angular velocity and linear acceleration data which is fed into a central processing unit for data interpreting and logging. The unit constitutes of two independent sensors. The first sensor is the 3-axis gyroscope and second sensor is the 3-axis accelerometer. The IMU should also have a data interpreter that can draw the track it went through. This should enable the engineers to calculate the co-ordinates, based on longitude and latitude measures. To improve the effectiveness of the device, the device could possibly be designed to transfer the data wirelessly using Bluetooth technology to the nearby data logging machine, which can simultaneously calculate the algorithms to figure the correct of the vessel piping system.

IntroductionIn modern day naval architecture, ships are designed to be very smooth skewed shapes to give them the ability to propel and maneuver at the least resistance, in order to maximize the propulsive efficiency
In modern day naval architecture, ships are designed to be very smooth skewed shapes to give them the ability to propel and maneuver at the least resistance, in order to maximize the propulsive efficiency. It has been a norm for many years to design a vessel with the storage tanks on the side of skin, or what we call as side-shell
The six degree of freedom (DOF) of MPU-6050 can expressed in terms of the naval architectural nomenclature
Summary
In modern day naval architecture, ships are designed to be very smooth skewed shapes to give them the ability to propel and maneuver at the least resistance, in order to maximize the propulsive efficiency It has been a norm for many years to design a vessel with the storage tanks on the side of skin, or what we call as side-shell. For a complicated system inside a vessel, we needed multiple units, which should give us several data even for extreme remote locations One example of such IMU device is InvenSense MPU-6050 which uses motion interface. The six degree of freedom (DOF) of MPU-6050 can expressed in terms of the naval architectural nomenclature They are: Heave, Pitch, Roll, Sway, Surge, Yaw. Application of IMU is not new in the shipbuilding industry. The inertial measurement units (IMU) can be comprised of analog-digital converters (ADC), a microcontroller (CPU) and inertial measurement system (IMS) which can transform the co-ordinates based on a relative origin
