A comprehensive classification of the most popular steady-state based leak detection methods is carried out, based on the core methodology utilised in each technique and without emphasizing on their individual technical detailing. Several different mathematical techniques and hydraulic tools have also been utilised in the proposed methods, which makes it rather challenging to evaluate all of them on a common platform and impractical to assess their technical capabilities and limitations. Literature review reveals the availability of an overwhelming range of leak detection methods with different technicality as well as applicability. Basic leak hydraulics and effective leak management strategies that facilitate leak prevention are briefly discussed. The present study focuses on the performance-oriented critical evaluation of various leak detection approaches proposed for pressurised pipeline carrying different types of fluids. Integrity management of the pipeline through leak prevention and early leak detection is crucial for their continuous operation and also to prevent the increase in energy burden and carbon emissions.
Pipeline and pipe networks are the most environmentally sustainable and energy-efficient means for transportation and distribution of fluids of high social and commercial value like drinking water, oil, and natural gas.
