Design of a Pipeline Leak Detection System

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper develops a pipeline leak detection software based on the vibration analysis method. It introduces the hardware designs, experimental methods and the based theory, experimental methods, and the leak detection algorithm. The system uses the generalized cross-correlation (GCC) algorithm to analyze those signals including vibration, temperature, flow and pressure. Then the system takes use of matlab to analyze those signals to choose the best weighted methods. At last, the software uses LabVIEW to generate the fronted user interface. Key words: Leak detection; Generalized Cross-correlation; Vibration analysis; LabVIEW
