  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FLUID LEAK DETECTION
    Publication number: 20200264068
    Abstract: According to at least one aspect, the present disclosure is directed to leak detection. There is pressure sensor for measuring pressure of fluid within a hollow structure, a shut-off valve for controlling fluid flow through the hollow structure, and a processor communicatively coupled to the pressure sensor and to the shut-off valve. The processor can acquire, from the pressure sensor, a first pressure measurement of the fluid while the shut-off valve is in an open state, and a second pressure measurement of the fluid while the shut-off valve is in a closed state. The processor can detect a fluid leak event based on the first and second pressure measurements.
