Abstract: An example system for non-invasive determination of target properties of a pressure vessel includes: a signal generator acoustically coupled to a fluid contained in the pressure vessel and disposed externally to the pressure vessel, the signal generator to emit acoustic signals into the fluid; a plurality of sensors acoustically coupled to the fluid and disposed externally to the pressure vessel to detect the acoustic signals; a control device interconnected with the signal generator and the plurality of sensors, the control device configured to: control the signal generator to emit acoustic signals into the pressure vessel; obtain sensor data from the plurality of sensors, the sensor data representing the acoustic signals as received by the plurality of sensors; compute, based on the detected signal data, the target properties of the pressure vessel; and output an indication of the target properties.

Abstract: An example method includes: recording, at a first sensor device, (i) a first informational signal as detected at the first sensor device; and (ii) a reference signal as detected at the first sensor device; recording, at a second sensor device (i) a second informational signal as detected at the second sensor device; and (ii) the reference signal as detected at the second sensor device; determining a time shift between the reference signal as recorded by the first sensor device and the reference signal as recorded by the second sensor device; and applying the determined time shift to the second informational signal to time-align the first informational signal and the second informational signal.
