Pipeline monitoring for burst
Pipeline monitoring for burst
(OP)
Is there any good site, magazine, book, powerpoint .. anything .. about pipeline burst monitoring (natural gas transmission) using pressure drop over time?
We are using pneumatic devices which close pipeline when pressure drop is too high (change to electronic device is stared).
I need to make some rough presentation of this concept, and I would like to cover following;
- what are rules for positioning such devices on pipeline (for new pipelines), like calculating distance, rivers, roads, city, etc ..
- what pressure drop gradient to setup on device (calculation or rules)
- recommendations and requirements for equipment (covering controlling device, actuators pneumatic or electric, electronic, valves, etc. )
- anything else ..
At least, can You give me common names for this branch of equipment (we are using LBC - Line Break Control), so that I can google for some infos ..
Thank You ..

RE: Pipeline monitoring for burst
Location depends on type of primary sensors, diameter of pipe, length at pressure, product toxicity, degree of sensitivity of leak you need to pick up. To do it right involves quite a bit of study.

This should not go into depth (not neccery), only to cover overview for "technical managment" people.
