Method and System for Identifying Leaks in Fluid Pipe Construction

摘要

System and method for identifying defects in a fluid pipe construction, where the method includes: receiving output signal data of at least two acoustic sensors configured for measuring flow related acoustic measures of the pipe constructions at least at the entrance point and at least one exit points thereof; and processing the received output signal data for identifying one or more types of flow related defects, using ultrasonic spectral range of the received signal data, wherein the identification is carried out by calculating at least the difference between the flow in the entrance and exit points of the pipe construction within the ultrasonic spectral range and comparing the calculated difference with at least two references indicating at least two flow states. The references are indicative of the flow states within the ultrasonic spectral range under normal conditions.

1. A method for identifying defects in a fluid pipe construction, said method comprising for each timeframe:
a. receiving output signal data of at least two acoustic sensors configured for measuring flow related acoustic measures of said pipe constructions at least at the entrance point and at least one exit points thereof; and b. processing said received output signal data for identifying one or more types of flow related defects, using ultrasonic spectral range of the received signal data, wherein said identification is carried out by calculating at least the difference between the flow in the entrance and exit points of the pipe construction within the ultrasonic spectral range and comparing the calculated difference with at least two references indicating at least two flow states, said references are indicative of the flow states within the ultrasonic spectral range under normal conditions.
