Slow leak detection method based on signal enhancement
pipeline leak detection methods can effectively detect sudden leaks. While the leak signals caused by slow leak are relatively gentle and easily submerged in noise
there are problems such as low sensitivity and inaccurate location for slow leak detection. Based on this
a slow leak detection is proposed with signal enhancement. The shortcoming of the small pressure decline rate of slow leak can be overcome by compressing (drawing and shifting) the pressure signals. Based on the advantages of the sharp waveforms and sensitive to sudden leaks of acoustic signals
the acoustic signal transmitter model with pressure signal as input and virtual acoustic signal as output is established
which overcomes the shortcoming of the leak pressure signal being easily submerged in the pressure fluctuations and noise of the pipeline
and achieves the slow leak signal enhancement. And the virtual acoustic signal is reconstructed based on the adjacent interpolation method. Then accurate location is achieved by the cross-correlation of corresponding virtual acoustic signals. The results show that the method has significant signal enhancement and positioning accuracy
