The invention provides a method which uses transient online diagnosis
coupling frequency response to position the leakage of
natural gas pipeline, and relates to a
natural gas pipeline failure detection and positioning method which can solve the problems that the existing method for detecting and positioning the leakage of the
natural gas pipeline can not detect in real time, has long detection period, low positioning precision and high error report rate; real-
time pressure value and real-time flux value are respectively collected at the upstream and downstream of the pipeline; the real-time downstream pressure value and the real-time flux value when the pipeline runs stably are reduced by the practical real-
time pressure value and the practical real-time flux value at the downstream; if both of the two differences exceed the valve value, the leakage is considered to occur, otherwise the values are collected again; an excitation
pressure wave is generated at the downstream end of the pipeline and the
wave speed of the response wave of the excitation
pressure wave is gained; according to the
wave speed of the excitation
pressure response wave and the
time difference when the excitation
pressure response wave is transmitted to the upstream and the downstream, the position of the leakage point is gained. The measurement and collection of the values are completed by normal equipments and the method can be used both in the built pipeline or pipelines under construction.
