Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Aims and scope

The paper analyzes the acoustic emission signals recorded in several places of the sodium hydroxide outflow from the pipeline during manometric control of its tightness directly during operation. On the basis of the obtained results, a parametric image of the source generating acoustic emission at the sodium hydroxide leak locations was established and an assumption was made about its physical nature. Recommendations are given for selecting criteria to assess the hazard class of an acoustic emission source of this type, and the error of its localization using linear antenna groups is estimated. Since the experimental data were obtained by an industrial acoustic emission control system with low-frequency converters, it is possible to directly transfer the obtained results to industrial leak resistance control of extended objects with sodium hydroxide using the acoustic emission method.
