18、y reviewed the leak detection and leak location methods for pressurized underground piping. The review selected candidate methods for testing underground piping of diameters of 6 to 18 inches and lengths of 250 feet to about 2 miles. Such underground piping is commonly found at airports, refineries,

19、 and fuel terminals. Methods that appeared promising were further reviewed, and four technologies were selected for field demonstration in range-finding tests. The four technologies were constant-pressure volumetric testing, pressure-decay testing, chemical tracer testing, and acoustic emission test

20、ing. Range- finding tests were conducted at an operating facility, using pipeline sections of different volumes. The methods were tested on tight lines, lines with induced leaks, and one line with an operational leak. The approximate size of a leak that each method could detect was estimated. Method

21、s that could locate leaks were used to identi the operational leak, which was confirmed by excavation and repair.

34、other sources to identi6 methods of leak detection and leak location for pressurized underground piping. The size of the piping that was the subject of this research was larger than that found in retail fueling applications but smaller than cross-country transmission pipelines. The population of pip

35、elines targeted ranged from about 6 to 18 inches in diameter and from about 250 feet to 2 miles long. Such piping is commonly found at airports, refineries, bulk plants, and fuel terminals. The technologies that were identified were constant-pressure volumetric testing, pressure-decay tests, chemica

36、l tracer tests, acoustic emission tests, radioactive tracer tests, product inventory reconciliation analysis, and computerized pressure-flow analysis. Vendors of four different technologies (constant-pressure volumetric tests, pressure-decay testing, chemical tracer testing, and acoustical emission

37、tests) were identified and invited to participate in the research study. The first two technologies purport to detect a leak and measure its size, while the latter two methods purport to detect leaks and identifj their location. The four methods were subjected to range-finding tests at an operating

38、facility. Up to four different line sections of different volumes ranging from 1,600 gallons to 9,700 gallons were used in the testing. Tests were done on tight lines, on lines with simulated leaks, and on one line with a large operational leak. The volumetric test method demonstrated the capacity t

39、o detect and measure leaks ranging from about 0.2 gallon per hour (gph) to 0.6 gph. The size of the leak that it can detect is a function of the volume of the line tested, in a fixed duration test. The system is designed for rapid mobilization to a test site and use as a point-in-time test. It has t

40、he potential to be permanently installed at a site and used for periodic testing. It requires that the sections of line to be tested be isolated with tight valves or blind flanges and tested in a static condition. The system checks the bulk modulus of the line. In the tests observed, the operators r

41、equired that the line be nearly air- free. Once set up, a test requires about 2 hours. There are two differently sized systems designed ES- 1 STD.API/PETRO PUBL 3gb-ENGL 5798 = 0732290 ObL3b43 973 for differently sized lines. This method identified the large operational leak and gave an approximate

42、leak rate-the actual leak was too large for the system to measure without an additional source of fuel to keep the line under constant pressure. It tested a line with an unknown leak of about 0.2 gph, identified that the line was leaking, and estimated the leak rate as about 0.2 gph. The chemical tr

43、acer method demonstrated the ability to detect a leak of 0.05 gph that persisted for at least 36 hours with tracer-labeled material. The tracer method can be used in a variety of different operating conditions: tracer inoculated product can be placed in the line under pressure in a static condition,

44、 the product can be inoculated with tracer and circulated through the line, or the line can be emptied and pressurized with tracer-labeled air. The choice depends on the operating conditions at a site. The tracer method was tested with liquid product in a static condition, and with tracer in air in

45、a static test. The tracer method gave no false alarms on a tight line. It identified the operational leak and identified three suspect areas, one of which was confirmed by excavation and repair. The tracer method requires inoculation with tracer, installation of sampling probes, then sampling and an

46、alysis several days after inoculation, depending on site conditions. Special procedures were used for these tests since introduction of the tracer material in fuel is not yet approved by the FAA for commercial aircraft. The pressure-decay method was found to be designed for permanent installation. A

47、s such, it requires calibration to each section of pipe to be tested-performing a number of calibration tests with the line tight and with known simulated leak rates. It is not intended for use as a one-time test method. Once calibrated, it detected simulated leaks and measured them. It uses a thres

48、hold for leak detection that is proportional to the volume of the pipeline, equivalent to 0.004% of the volume of the line per hour. When tested on a line with a large Operational leak, it identified the leak quickly through the lines failure to hold pressure. When tested on a line with an unknown l

49、eak of about 0.2 gph, the operators were unable to calibrate the system. After about a day and a half of testing, they concluded that the line must have a leak, which was then confirmed as leaking past a blind flange. The method requires absolutely tight valves to isolate line sections L,- ES-2 for testing. It also requires the lines to be essentially air-free. In permanent installation, it requires remotely operated double-block-and-bleed valves. A pipe section can be tested in about 45 minutes, once the system is calibrated. The acoustic emission test requires physical access
