Abstract

This report essentially discusses the work on the project entitled Gas Pipeline
Leak Detection Using Differential Pressure Method and Acoustic Emission method.
The objective of this project is to implement leak detection using differential pressure
method and acoustic emission method and also to determine the ability of these
methods to estimate size and location of the leak. In order to carry on experiment on
these method, a differential pressure flow meters test rig need to be designed and
constructed. The theory part explains in details about principle and mechanism of
component related to differential pressure, flow measurement and acoustic emission.
The methodology explains about the development of the test rig, hardware and
software used in this project and experimental procedure to acquire differential
pressure, flow rate and acoustic emission signal. Chapter 4 shows results obtained
from experiment and analysis part of the results. The analysis part will verify the
theory and hypothesis made before doing experiment. Throughout the project, there
are some difficulty face such as lack of hardware and instrument needed for the
project and also time constrains as a final year students. However, all these
difficulties have been overcome in order to complete the project at the time given.
The outcome of this project would be very useful in the industry as leak detection is
very crucial in a process plant which can save lives and cost for early detection.
