A leak changes the hydraulics of the pipeline, and therefore changes the pressure or flow readings after some time. Local monitoring of pressure or flow at only one point can therefore provide simple leak detection. As it is done locally it requires in principle no telemetry. It is only useful in steady-state conditions, however, and its ...
The magnets are mounted between the brushes and tool body to create a magnetic circuit along the pipe wall. As the tool travels along the pipe, the sensors detect interruptions in the magnetic circuit. Interruptions are typically caused by metal loss, which is typically caused by corrosion and is denoted as a "feature".
Electro Scan was founded in October 2011 by Chuck Hansen in Sacramento, California. [4] In 2012, the Water Environment Research Foundation approved a testing project in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, in which the company used its technology to check non-conductive sewer pipes that had previously been inspected for leaks using other methods.

The blue plastic disks seal against the inside of the pipe to propel the device and to remove loose sedimentation or scale buildup. The black rectangles at the top and the circular disks in the center are magnets to attract and remove any loose metal objects in the pipe. An ultrasonic leak-detection pig.
Distributed fiber-optic sensing technology can be used for leak detection through DAS and DTS. [26] AP Sensing has a regional office in Bahrain, and operates throughout the Middle East. [27] Their Distributed Fibre Optic Sensing is designed to monitor pipeline leaks, and is used by the Kuwait Oil Company and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company.
The test involves filling the vessel or pipe system with a liquid, usually water, which may be dyed to aid in visual leak detection, and pressurization of the vessel to the specified test pressure. Pressure tightness can be tested by shutting off the supply valve and observing whether there is a pressure loss.
