고압 가스 배관망의 안전관리는 매우 중요한 문제로 배관의 외적 손상으로 구멍이 생길 경우 발생하는 누출은 폭발 및 환경오염을 포함한 막대한 경제적 손실을 야기할 수 있다. 누출 검지를 위한 PLDS(Pipeline leak detection system린 기술로 저압확장파 검지 기술이 적용되고 있으며 본 논문에서는 CFD++ 상용코드를 활용하여 배관 누출시 유동특성을 이론적으로 해석하여 저압확장파의 발생 메커니즘과 음속으로 확장되는 전파특성을 규명하였다. 또한 긴 배관망에 적용하기 위한 1차원 해석 방법을 제시하고 신뢰성을 CFD해석 결과로 검증하였다.

In this study, the leak signal was measured by using an accelerometer to analyze the basic data and methodology for the development of the leak point estimation method in the water supply pipe. The measured results were analyzed by frequency analysis and cross-correlation analysis for leakage signals, and the error range was compared and analyzed with the actual leak point distance. As a result, it was confirmed that the vibration intensity due to leakage from the water leakage point was attenuated according to the distance. In the case of the ductile iron casting used in the experiment, the intensity of the signal at the 945 Hz, 1,500 Hz, 2,300 Hz band was increased with the change of the pressure in the pipe at 4mm of leakage hole. Also, it was confirmed that as the water pressure increases, the intensity of the leak signal increases but the similarity of the signal decreases. The results of this study confirm that the accelerometer sensor can be used efficiently for leak detection and it can be used as a basic data for the analysis for the development of leak point estimation method in the future.

A leak detection method for diagnosis of the leak position in a pipeline was developed using an estimation theory with the assumption that the measured flow rates and pressures are stochastic processes. A notch filter was designed using power spectral density analysis of measurements to reduce the effects of disturbances. The noise model dimension was determined by hypothesis testing and then recursive extended least square method was applied to estimate the leak position in real time. The proposed method was applied to an experimental system for evaluation of its performance.

지하에 매설된 도시가스 배관에서의 누출 가스에 대한 확산 거동을 관찰하기 위하여 지중 확산실험조를 제작하여 실험하였다. 실험조는 도시가스 공급위치와 농도의 측정위치를 변화시킬 수 있도록 acryl로 제작하였으며, MOS 센서를 이용하여 도시가스 농도를 측정하였다. 가스의 지하 확산을 측정하기 위한 토질로서 주문진 표준사와 화강풍화토를 이용하였으며, 가스누출 속도 변화에 따른 도시가스 농도 변화를 시간에 따라 측정하였다. 누출점으로부터 센서의 측정위치가 가까울수록 또는 누출 속도가 증가할수록 가스의 감지시간이 감소하였으며, 누출가스 농도의 빠른 증가로 인하여 정상상태시 높은 농도를 나타내었다. 또한, 주문진 표준사보다 다짐에 의해 밀도가 증가한 화강풍화토에서 초기에 농도가 낮게 측정되었으나, 시간이 지남에 따라 농도가 높게 나타났다.

The leak before break (LBB) concept is widely used in designing pipe lines in nuclear power plants. According to the concept, the amount of leaking liquid from a pipe should be more than the minimum detectable leak rate of a leak detection system before catastrophic failure occurs. Therefore, accurate estimation of the leak rate is important to evaluate the validity of the LBB concept in pipe line design. In this paper, a program was developed to estimate the leak rate through circumferential cracks in pipes in nuclear power plants using the Henry-Fauske flow model and modified Henry-Fauske flow model. By using the developed program, the leak rate was calculated for a circumferential crack in a sample pipe, and the effect of the flow model on the leak rate was examined. Treating the crack morphology parameters as random variables, the statistical behavior of the leak rate was also examined. As a result, it was found that the crack morphology parameters have a strong effect on the leak rate and the statistical behavior of the leak rate can be simulated using normally distributed crack morphology parameters.

Leak detection is one of the most important challenges in condition monitoring of water pipelines. Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors offer an attractive technique to detect leak signals. In this paper, leak measurements were conducted on a water distribution pilot plant with a length of 270 m and a diameter of 100 mm. FBG sensors were installed on the pipeline surface and used to detect leak vibration signals. The leak was demonstrated with 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-mm diameter leak holes in four different pipe types. The frequency response of leak signals was analyzed by fast Fourier transform analysis in real time. In the experiment, the frequency range of leak signals was approximately 340-440 Hz. The frequency shifts of leak signals according to the pipe type and the size of the leak hole were demonstrated at a pressure of 1.8 bar and a flow rate of 25.51 m³/h. Results show that frequency shifts detected by FBG sensors can be used to detect leaks in pipelines.

The practice of the construction and management of the underground petroleum storage facilities in Korea was investigated extensively, and the problems were identified. The advanced technologies in the U.S.A was comparatively studied. Considering the effectiveness of leak prevention and technology applicability, the following measures were suggested. To prevent corrosion of the tank, a clad tank, an interior-lining tank, or a double-wall tank was appropriate and appeared to be most cost effective. For piping, non-metalic material was suggested. To prevent spill, a catchment basin can be effective. For monitoring of leak, construction of more than one of one or combination of an automatic leak-detection device, a vapor-detection system, a ground water-monitoring system, and a double-wall detection system was recommended.

지하매설 상수도 배관의 누수는 사회적, 환경적 그리고 경제적 문제를 야기시킨다. 이러한 누수에 대한 적절한 대응책의 하나로서 배관의 누수지점에 대한 탐지 및 수리가 해당될 것이다. 누수음은 배관의 누수지점의 식별에 좋은 탐지원이다. 비록 청음봉, 청음기 또는 지상마이크로폰과 같은 누수음으로 누수지점을 탐지하는 몇 가지의 방법이 있어 왔지만, 과들은 이렇게 효율적인 도구들은 아니었다. 본 논문에서는, 좀 더 쉽고 효율적인 방법을 제공할 수도 있는 음향방출센서와 가속도계를 사용한 누수위치탐지를 다룬다. 누수지점 탐지를 위해 센서로부터의 입력신호에 대한 필터링, 신호처리 및 알고리듬을 기술하였다. 120 미터 길이의 배관이 실험을 위해 설치가 되었고, 실험결과들은 음향방출센서와 가속도계가 누수지점의 정밀탐지에 이용될 수 있음을 보여 주었다. 누수지점의 탐지에 극히 중요한 지하매설배관 속의 유체의 음파 전파속도에 관한 이론적 해석 또한 기술되었다.

To reduce the secondary damage caused by leakage accidents in plant piping systems, a constant surveillance system is necessary. To ensure leaks are promptly addressed, the surveillance system should be able to detect not only the leak itself, but also the location of the leak. Recently, research to develop new methods has been conducted using cameras to detect leakage and to estimate the location of leakage. However, existing methods solely estimate whether a leak exists or not, or only provide two-dimensional coordinates of the leakage location. In this paper, a method using multiple cameras to detect leakage and estimate the three-dimensional coordinates of the leakage location is presented. Leakage is detected by each camera using MADI(Moving Average Differential Image) and histogram analysis. The two-dimensional leakage location is estimated using the detected leakage area. The three-dimensional leakage location is subsequently estimated based on the two-dimensional leakage location. To achieve this, the coordinates (x, z) for the leakage are calculated for a horizontal section (XZ plane) in the monitoring area. Then, the y-coordinate of leakage is calculated using a vertical section from each camera. The method proposed in this paper could accurately estimate the three-dimensional location of a leak using multiple cameras.

시간영역반사계(TDR)는 케이블의 물리적 결함을 검사하는 기법이며 누수 탐지 분야로의 응용영역을 확대하고 있다. 본 연구는 시간영역반사계 기법을 활용하여 선박 기관실 해수 배관의 누설 감지용 케이블형 센서를 개발하였다. 케이블 센서의 형상은 꼬임형상과 흡습부재를 이용하여 제작하였으며 개발된 센서의 누수 감지 여부와 위치 탐지 가능성을 확인하였다. 개발된 센서는 실제 배관 시험 장치에 부착하여 평가하였으며 해수 누설에 따른 다양한 TDR 신호를 취득하였다. 센서는 꼬임횟수, 피복 두께를 변수로 하여 제작하였으며 TDR 신호에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 꼬임형 센서는 평행한 띠 형상의 센서에 비해 평활한 신호 취득이 가능하였으며 최적 꼬임 횟수는 단위길이 당 10회 이상인 것으로 나타났다. 절연 피복두께의 경우 적정 민감도 확보가 가능한 절연 피복부재의 두께는 도선직경의 80%~120%로 확인되었다. 누수 위치 추정을 위해 회귀분석 실시 결과, 결정계수는 0.9998로 실제 누설 위치와 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 결과적으로 제안된 TDR 기반의 누수 감지용 꼬임형 센서는 해수 배관 시스템의 누수 감시 센서로의 충분한 적용성을 확인하였다.
