... based on water hammer principles, implemented computationally by the Method of Characteristics (MOC). The effect of data fidelity and sampling rates on leak identification – magnitude and location – is studied to specify appropriate instrumentation. Leak detection performance is evaluated by means...

... an analysis on the current empirical approach used in the daily operation by the existing end user, and how the results compared to a full scientific approach running a slack model based on the field instrumentation, and the physical properties of the pipeline.

... Interfaces A real-time model relies on real-time data to be received from a SCADA or DCS or similar source. In traditional pipeline installations this may have meant installation of dedicated instrumentation, PLC s, and communication lines, but most modern pipelines, where there is a focus on efficient...

... complementary to the data gathered through factory testing. A compressor field testing procedure that reduces measurement inaccuracies and maintains cost efficiency is outlined herein. The paper also addresses the issues of planning and organization of field tests, necessary instrumentation, and test data...

... balance techniques. strengths and weaknesses of each of the methods is discussed along with the instrumentation and installation requirements necessary for successful implementation. The effectiveness of the metho& as a function of pipeline operating conditions or philosophies is also explored. 1...

... ABSTRACT More and more, the on-line (or real-time) pipeline software market is being driven by the need for model based leak detection systems. Unfortunately, the instrumentation requirements of such leak detection systems are not easily determined by pipeline operating companies. Consequently...
