Abstract: The minimum detectable leak on a pipeline varies considerably for different pipeline systems and can vary appreciably within a given pipeline system depending on operating conditions. Factors which affect leak detection capability include (1) accuracy of metering systems, temperature and pressure measurements, and PVT data for the fluid pumped, (2) size, wall thickness, and length of the line, (3) compressibility of the fluid, and (4) dynamic operating conditions. The dramatic increase in the transportation of light hydrocarbons and other highly compressible fluids has put a severe strain on leak detection capability.
