Method for locating leaks in a fluid pipeline and apparatus therefore

摘要: A method and apparatus for determining the location of a leak in fluid containing pipeline. Plural monitoring stations sample flow criteria which change presence leak. The as function variable such time will allow extrapolation to discern location. At each either pressure or rate both are measured. measurements occur at regular intervals record is created station. station continually transmitted central where data processor analyzes records establishes leak's One three algorithms, any combination thereof, used by calculate Each algorithm tuned specific pipeline compensate unique characteristics thereof. An output device communicates an operator automatically takes appropriate action response
