  • Method and system for pipeline condition analysis
    Patent number: 10851947
    Abstract: A method and system for assessing the condition of a pipeline in a pipeline system is disclosed. The method includes generating a pressure wave in the fluid being carried along the pipeline system at a generation location along the pipeline system, detecting a first pressure wave interaction signal at a first measurement location along the pipeline system resulting from an interaction of the pressure wave with localised variations in the pipeline and then detecting synchronously a second pressure wave interaction signal at a second measurement location along the pipeline system resulting from the interaction of the pressure wave with localised variations in the pipeline.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 15, 2016
    Date of Patent: December 1, 2020
    Assignee: The University of Adelaide
