  • DETECTION OF GAS VOIDS IN PIPE USING GUIDED WAVE
    Publication number: 20100305870
    Abstract: A gas detection system for the detection of gas voids in piping systems. The gas detection system includes a transmitter, a receiver, and a computer. The transmitter is positioned at a designated point on a piping circuit and is adapted to transmit guided waves into the piping circuit. The receiver is positioned at a designated point distant from the transmitter and is adapted to receive the guided waves transmitted through the piping circuit by the transmitter. The computer analyzes and monitors the guided waves received by the receiver and determines the amount of gas in the piping circuit being analyzed.
