Detection and on-line prediction of leak magnitude in a gas pipeline using an acoustic method and neural network data processing

Considering the importance of monitoring pipeline systems, this work presents the development of a technique to detect gas leakage in pipelines, based on an acoustic method, and on-line prediction of leak magnitude using artificial neural networks. On-line audible noises generated by leakage were ob...
