Abstract
An apparatus for inspecting a fuel vessel includes a strap configured to surround an outer surface of the fuel vessel and fixed to the outer surface through at least one joint part, a plurality of piezoelectric sensors interposed between the outer surface of the fuel vessel and the strap, and spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance along the strap, and a cable electrically connected to the plurality of piezoelectric sensors. The first piezoelectric sensor of a plurality of piezoelectric sensors is configured to transmit a signal generated based on receiving a voltage applied, to remaining piezoelectric sensors of the plurality of piezoelectric sensors.
