Methods Of Decreasing The Influence Of The Factors Disturbing The Reliability Of Leak Detection Systems

Abstract: During implementation of leak detection and localization systems for liquid and gas pipelines the authors have met serious problems concerning reliability. The main prob-lems were integrity (i.e. discontinuities) and quality of the input data acquired from telemetry systems, such as damages, bad calibration and drift of the measuring in-struments and transmitters, bad balance between flu…
