Title:
TRACKING VIBRATIONS IN A PIPELINE NETWORK
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006041981
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A vibration recorder (1000) for detecting leaks in a pipeline network (1010) includes a sensor (1000) operable to receive vibration signals from a pipeline network, and a communication port connected to an automatic meter reader/transmitter (1015). A processor connected to the communication port and to the sensor (1000) is programmed to process the vibration signals and to send data regarding the processed vibration signals to the AMRT using the communication port. The vibration recorder may also include metering actions, and, in some implementations, may incorporate the functions of the AMRT.
