Detection of Leak-Induced Pipeline Vibrations Using Fiber—Optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing

In the presented work, the potential of fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) for detection of small gas pipeline leaks (<1%) is investigated. Helical wrapping of the sensing fiber directly around the pipeline is used to increase the system sensitivity for detection of weak leak-indu...
