ABSTRACT:

Leakage is the main issue for unaccounted losses in each pipe network around the world (oil, gas, or water). In most cases, the deleterious effects associated with the occurrence of leaks may present serious economical and health problems. So, leaks must be quickly detected, located, and repaired. Unfortunately, most state-of-the-art leak detection systems have limited applicability, are neither reliable nor strong, while others depend on the user expertise. During this paper, we have a tendency to present a replacement in-pipe leak detection system. It performs autonomous leak detection in pipes and, thus, eliminates the necessity for the user expertise. This paper focuses on the detection module and its main characteristics. Detection in based mostly on the presence of a pressure gradient within the neighborhood of the leak. Moreover, the proposed detector can sense leaks at any angle round the circumference of the pipe with solely two sensors. We tend to validate the ideas by building a prototype and evaluate the system's performance underneath real conditions in an experimental laboratory setup.
