A pipeline pressure test that accounts for measurement uncertainties includes a method for performing a pressure test of a pipe section of a pipeline including receiving a desired pressure to be applied to the pipe section and a duration of time the desired pressure is to be applied to the pipe section, receiving a pressure measurement of a fluid, a temperature measurement of the fluid, a volume measurement of the fluid, and a pipe section strain measurement, determining a change in fluid pressure and a volume change, determining a pressure change uncertainty and a volume change uncertainty, checking that the pressure change uncertainty is within a pressure uncertainty threshold and that the volume change uncertainty is within a volume uncertainty threshold, determining whether the desired pressure has been applied to the inner surface of the pipe section for the duration of time; and outputting a result of the testing.

A device of the invention comprises piping for carrying liquid such as potable water within a piping network of a building, at least two control valves, a pressure transducer to measure water pressure in the piping, a flowmeter to measure water flow and a controller to control opening and closing of the control valves based on sensed pressure and measured waterflow. The controller has a processor with preprogrammed instructions for controlling conditions under which the control valves are opened and closed by command from said controller. Two programmable modes for control are provided for use in a building under construction; a rough-in operation and a normal water-on operation. Both modes have respective leak prevention logic in the controller enabling automatic operation of the control valves for effective leak prevention. The device may be employed within a communications network in which remote computers and mobile communication devices may observe and/or control operation of the device.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided for detecting and determining conditions of and conditions within a fluid conduit.

A tool kit for testing and detecting a leakage in a tube having a cylindrical body is disclosed herein. The tool kit of the present invention comprises an inlet member and an outlet member which are going to attached with the extreme ends of the tube through a threaded mechanism. The one end of both inlet member and outlet member has a tapered structure that allows the easy insertion of both members in the openings of the tube. The tool kit further includes a fluid pump that pumps the fluid in the tube, wherein the fluid is inserted through the inlet member of the tool kit. A pressure monitoring unit is also provided with the fluid pump that measures the pressure inside the tube in real time. Furthermore, the outlet member includes a handle whose function is to control the pressure inside the tube during the testing process.

A leak detection sensor may be capable of dynamically adjusting a sampling time for acoustic data based on monitored fluid flow. The leak detection sensor monitors leak detection information associated with a fluid in a fluid transporting medium over a predetermined time interval, where the leak detection information comprises flow and pressure of the fluid in the fluid transporting medium, and processing the leak detection data monitored at the sampling time in the predetermined time interval, where the sampling time is determined based at least in part on the monitored flow of the fluid.

Embodiments of systems and methods for supplying fuel, enabling communications, and conveying electric power associated with operation of a hydraulic fracturing unit of a plurality of hydraulic fracturing units are disclosed and may include a fuel line connection assembly configured to be connected to the first hydraulic fracturing unit and to supply fuel from a fuel source to a gas turbine engine connected to the hydraulic fracturing unit. A system also may include a communications cable assembly configured to be connected to the hydraulic fracturing unit and to enable data communications between the hydraulic fracturing unit and a data center or another hydraulic fracturing unit. A system further may include a power cable assembly configured to be connected to the hydraulic fracturing unit and to convey electric power between the hydraulic fracturing unit and a remote electrical power source or the plurality of hydraulic fracturing units.

The present invention provides methods and apparatus for determining a fluid leakage volume in a pipeline complex, the method including providing a leakage measurement apparatus, determining a fluid flowrate through the leakage measurement apparatus and adjusting an externally controlled pressure located at a pressure point in said apparatus thereby determining said fluid leakage volume.

A blowby gas treatment device includes a pressure control valve, a fresh air induction pipe, a first blowby gas pipe, a second blowby gas pipe, a shutoff valve, a one-way valve, and a PCV valve. A leak diagnosis includes a first-stage diagnosis to determine whether or not falling of a pressure in a crank case after closing of the shutoff valve under a non-supercharging condition is normal. A second-stage diagnosis is implemented by moving the pressure control valve from a fully opened state into a fully closed state, and determining whether an intake air quantity in each state is equal to each other. When the intake air quantity in each state is equal to each other, presence of an in-system leak is determined. When a fully closed state intake air quantity is different from a fully opened state intake air quantity, presence of an out-of-system leak is determined.

A dispensing assembly and related methods to facilitate dispensing of a fluid sample from a sample cylinder may include a sensor connected to one or more of conduits of the dispensing assembly and configured to provide indication of a leak in the conduits. A cap assembly may include a cap body and one or more cap conduits positioned to engage with a flush fluid source and provide fluid flow between the flush fluid source and a flush conduit. The cap assembly further may include a first quick connect coupler for connection and disconnection to a second quick connect coupler connected to a flush conduit. A pressure control device may be provided to prevent damage resulting from pressure to containers containing flush fluid. Inlet and outlet conduits connecting to the sample cylinder may configured to be flexible and align with corresponding connectors on the sample cylinder.
