Using Pressure Sensors towards Pipeline Leakage Detection

Pipe leakage is one of the problems became reasonable high cost for the company. Water, Oil, and Gas are natural resources using pipe for media distribution. Leaky pipe occurs caused by many factors such as environment, pipe resistance, illegal tapping and etc. This research aimed to detect leakage of pipes by illegal tapping. Illegal tapping is a theft method to get stabbing or tapping pipeline. Illegal tapping impact of changing in pressure value between the upstream and downstream pipes. Pressure will be changes if sensor detected any irregularly mount on upstream and downstream value in experimental pipe. The result value will processes and analyze using continue wavelet transformation to finding the differences time and frequency. Although the results became measure experiment, that pipeline leaked could be detected.
