Experimental Rig

A leak detection system using acoustic emission methods is developed. For this, an experimental rig to detect leak was built using 8” galvanized steel pipe. The length of the pipe is 2 meters. A leak was made with 3 mm diameter and located in 1 meter from the end pipe. The pipe was filled with water and compressed until certain pressure reached. An acoustic emission transducer from Brüel and Kjær type 8313 is mounted on the pipe wall and connected to digital oscilloscope to detect AE signal. The experiment conducted by placing a sensor at a distance of 15 cm, 30 cm, 45 cm, 60 cm, and 75 cm from the position of the leak. Measurements were also performed with the variation of the pressure 3 bar, 4 bars, 5 bars, 6 bars, and 7 bar for those points.Considering acoustic emission wave travelling on pipe is plane wave, leak detection using energy attenuation emission become possible that is different from the method commonly used. Propagation constant is thus required and obtained based on experimental result where the amplitude varies with the spatial and pressure. It is found that for the case considered here. Subsequently, distance of leak location can be determined by the propagation constant and the ratio of energy. Using this method, the error of prediction is about 15.8 %.

Petroleum fluids in production systems are frequently transported by surface steel pipelines of low diameter working at low pressures and under a two-phase flow regime. These pipelines operate without permanent, continuous supervision for leaks. The leaked volume is usually high before the leak is noticed and stopped. High leak volumes pollute the environment and increase production costs. This paper describes the expected performance of the acoustic emission leak detection system for low pressure flowlines in oil and gas gathering installations. The developed system detects acoustic emission signals generated by leaks. Specific features of the system are discussed. The system was tested in a closed field scale two-phase flowloop. Example results of tests are reported. The paper is completed with conclusions and discussion of potential applications of the system.

Standards and Recommended Practices require periodic updating so they represent current technology and industry practices. Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Z662 “Oil and Gas Pipeline Systems” contains Annex E that covers software-based leak detection for liquid hydrocarbon pipelines. The CSA Technical Committee determined that is was time to update Annex E. A Task Force of industry experts and regulators met over a period of 18 month to draft a new Annex E. This paper outlines some of the significant features of the new Annex and where possible does a comparison with the similar section in American Petroleum Institute’s API 1130 which covers recommended practice for software based leak detection in the US. A pipeline operator should consider using both Annex E and API 1130 in the implementation and use of a software-based leak detection system. The CSA Task Force did not want to copy and modify API 1130 to provide a new Annex E, so both documents provide necessary information.
