The Siemens FUS-LDS Leak Detection System offers a complete software and hardware solution for detecting and localizing pipeline leaks. Whether customers are looking for increased pipeline control, protection against theft or are under regulatory constraints, the FUS-LDS based on SITRANS FUH1010 clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurement technology is the answer offering a number of distinct benefits. When a pipeline leak occurs, it causes a sudden decrease in pressure at the leak origin. This pressure transient radiates both upstream and downstream from the line breach and decreases the density of the liquid, which results in a sudden drop in the liquid‘s sonic propagation velocity (Vs). The change in Vs is detected at each site station and time stamped with the arrival of the pressure wave‘s leading edge. As a result, the highly accurate FUS-LDS can locate a leak event within ±150 meters.To avoid triggering false alarms, a fully optimized FUS-LDS continuously senses pipeline application conditions and dynamically compensates for the normal changes that occur throughout daily operation. Finally the Siemens FUS-LDS is a comprehensive system that includes all hardware and software. From an operational perspective, this eliminates the potential for third-party instrumentation outages that could impact the ability of the FUS-LDS to monitor a pipeline.DOWNLOAD VALVE SOLUTIONS APP.
