Suggestion on Sensors to be used for Leak Detection in Pipe

Community Projects

Hi guys,

I am new here. I would like to have your kind help to assist me in my project. Actually, I was currently doing my Final Year Project for my study in university.

My project title is design + setup a tool which capable of detection and location of leak in designed pipeline.

To make it short, now I’m in the phase of identification and selection of components for my device.I would glad to have your opinions in which preferable type of sensors to be purchased in my project

The components selection criteria are as attached :

Basically I want to find for sensors using for :

  1. Leak detection in pipe (acoustic sensor)

  2. Leak location in pipe (accelerometer/GPS sensor)

  3. Tracking device in pipe (accelerometer/GPS sensor)

  4. Different pressure as leak occurred in pipe (differential pressure sensor)

Your attention and help is highly appreciated.

Perhaps you could bother to explain how the sensors (wbove) ould be used in detecting a leak. A pressure sensor is fairly obvious but an accelerometer ? GPS ??

Duh, obviously a hole can allow GPS signals through. And it can trip it’s wheels in to the hole, thus the accelerometer would show that.

:wink:

Is it that time of year again?

Final year projects…

DMX light controllers…

Does it ever end?

Your professor doesn’t want us to tell you how it’s been done.

Yes ... for about 2 weeks every year. :mrgreen:
