Abstract

Abstract: In order to study the applicability of leakage noise (vibration) monitoring method, an online leakage monitoring test was carried out on a large pipeline. In the test, the emptying valve on the pipeline was used to simulate the leakage point, and the vibration signal caused by leakage was monitored by the hydrophone and other floating cables installed in the pipeline. By controlling the opening degree of the emptying valve, the different degrees of leakage between 10L/s and 105L/s was simulated, and the monitoring data for 10 minutes were recorded from 5 minutes before valve opening. The analysis results of the test data showed that although the environmental background of the monitoring was very disturbing, the leakage could be detected when the leakage degree was more than 0.05% of the pipeline flow. The monitoring results also showed that the noise caused by the leakage of large buried water pipelines was mainly transmitted in the form of vibration along the soil around the pipeline.
