Analysis of methods and systems for detecting leakage from main pipelines

Elmurzaeva Larisa Khalidovna

The article is devoted to the analysis of leak detection systems (LDS) and the requirements for them. The SOU is a set of software and hardware tools that work in real time according to specified algorithms and perform the function of continuous monitoring of the integrity of the pipeline in accordance with the technical requirements. Theoretical and experimental studies of methods for detecting leaks in pipelines that pump liquids have been carried out for many decades. The result of scientific activity is a huge number of publications, books and patents. The unfavorable state of pipeline systems makes it necessary to develop methods and tools that allow you to quickly and accurately detect the presence of leaks and determine their coordinates. In this case, first of all, we are talking about objective, instrumental means of monitoring pipelines, which allow promptly and with acceptable accuracy to detect emerging leaks and determine their location.
