Problems and prospects of pipeline leaks determination

Abstract

Problems and prospects of determination of sources are considered from pipelines. The analysis of
the existent systems of exposure of sources is conducted, their defects are considered and it is set that
they require further perfection and development. The use of piston is offered for the exposure of
sources, principle of work of that is based on the crossflow of product from a cavity where pressure is
higher in a cavity with less pressure.
