Leak Size, Detectability and Test Conditions in Pressurized Pipe Systems : How Leak Size and System Conditions Affect the Effectiveness of Leak Detection Techniques

The relationships between leak geometry and detectability are explored with a distinction between steady- and unsteady-state based techniques. Various criteria to evaluate the size and detectability of a leak are first discussed. These criteria can be useful for the benchmarking and the comparison o...
