Abstract

The new method of uncertainty analysis application for the assessment of leak detection systems is presented. It enables to assess the sensibility of the system, giving it the possibility of detecting leaks without excessive number of false alarms. It is also possible to assess the accuracy of leak localization. Experimental research confirmed the effectivity of the proposed method.
