DTPH56-07-BAA-000002 Free-Swimming Acoustic Tool for Leak Detection
Title
DTPH56-07-BAA-000002 Free-Swimming Acoustic Tool for Leak Detection
Subject
Leak detection
Description
Describes the development and refinement of a free-swimming tool called SmartBall, designed to be capable of detecting leaks as small as 0.028 GPM in oil product pipelines as well as record leaks in natural gas pipelines. GPS synchronized GIS-based above ground loggers capture low-frequency acoustic signatures and digitally log the passage of the tool through a pipeline. This report presents the development, laboratory, and field validation testing of the SmartBall for oil and gas pipeline integrity.
