Pipeline leak detection apparatus, and methods thereof

This invention describes a system to find leaks in pipelines. It works by placing two pressure sensors a specific distance apart within the pipeline. A computer then analyzes the pressure changes detected by these sensors to pinpoint where the leak is, optionally using temperature readings for better accuracy.

Why it matters: Filed before the latest advancements in edge computing and AI-driven signal processing. These improvements could make the precise detection and noise cancellation required for sub-36-inch accuracy more robust and cost-effective to implement on-site.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModeratePressure sensors, processor, software logic, pipeline integration.
