摘要

Acoustic emissions can be sensed to identify and localize leaks in water pipes. Leak noiserncorrelators and listening devices have been reported in literature as successful approachesrnto leak detection but they have practical limitations in terms of cost, sensitivity, reliabilityrnand scalability. A possible efficient solution is the development of an in-pipe travelingrnleak detection system. It has been reported that in-pipe sensing is more accurate andrnefficient since the sensing element can be very close to the sound source. Currently inpipernapproaches are limited to large leaks and larger diameter pipes.rnDevelopment of such a system requires clear understanding of acoustic signalsrngenerated from leaks and their variation with different pipe loading conditions, leak sizesrnand surrounding media. This paper discusses the acoustic characterization of leak signalsrnin controlled environments. A lab experimental setup was designed and built in whichrnmeasurements were taken from inside 4? PVC water pipes using a hydrophone. Signalsrnwere collected for a wide range of conditions: different pressures and leak flow rates tornbetter understand the leak signal signatures. Experiments were conducted with differentrnpipe connecting elements like valves and junctions, and different external conditions suchrnas pipes placed in water, air and soil. Signals were collected at various distances from thernleak location (upstream and downstream) to understand the opportunities of spatial crosscorrelationrntechniques in localizing leaks and the effect of sensor position on the signal.rnCharacterizations of different datasets are presented in frequency domain. Thernimplications of acoustic characterization on the design of algorithms for leak detectionrnare discussed and a simple algorithm to decide whether or not a leak is present near thernsensor location is proposed, based on signal power calculations. The characterizationrngives insights, which will pave ways for the development of smart, autonomous pipetraversingrnsystems capable of detecting and localizing leaks on a city level waterrndistribution network.
