Methods of Detecting a Leak• Odor.• Vegetation. • Insects (flies, roaches, spiders). • Fungus-like Growth. • Sound. • Unaccounted for Gas. • Soap Solutions. • Leak Detection Instruments.
![Page 4: Oil and Gas Pipeline Design, Maintenance and Repair 12 Leak detection... · 2006. 8. 25. · PE 607: Oil & Gas Pipeline Design, Maintenance & Repair ١ Dr. Abdel-Alim Hashem Professor](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012006/60f9c3f016224b56e748c301/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
٤PE 607: Oil & Gas Pipeline Design, Maintenance & Repair
1.Odor• Gas odor is a common and effective indication of a leak• Gas is intentionally odorized so that the average person can
perceive it at a concentration well below the explosive range .• Odorant concentration is generally between 0.5 to 1.0 percent by
volume or as local applicable codes dictate .A report of gas odor should be investigated immediately .
• If a leak is found, the migration pattern of the gas should be determined .
• If an immediate hazard is determined to exist, the hazard potential should be eliminated and the leak repaired immediately .
![Page 5: Oil and Gas Pipeline Design, Maintenance and Repair 12 Leak detection... · 2006. 8. 25. · PE 607: Oil & Gas Pipeline Design, Maintenance & Repair ١ Dr. Abdel-Alim Hashem Professor](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012006/60f9c3f016224b56e748c301/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
٥PE 607: Oil & Gas Pipeline Design, Maintenance & Repair
2.Vegetation• Vegetation in an area of gas leakage may improve or
deteriorate, depending on:-1- The soil.2- The type of vegetation. 3- The environment. 4- The climate. 5- The volume and duration of the leak.
• Changes in vegetation may indicate slow below ground leaks.
• A vegetation survey by itself is not an acceptable method of complying with the pipeline safety regulations.
• Leak surveys should be conducted with leak detection equipment.
![Page 6: Oil and Gas Pipeline Design, Maintenance and Repair 12 Leak detection... · 2006. 8. 25. · PE 607: Oil & Gas Pipeline Design, Maintenance & Repair ١ Dr. Abdel-Alim Hashem Professor](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012006/60f9c3f016224b56e748c301/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

3.Insects (flies, roaches, spiders).
• Insects migrate to points or areas of leakage due to microbial breakdown of some components of gas.
• Some insects like the smell of the gas odorant.
• Heavy insect activity, particularly near the riser, the gas meter, or the regulator, can sometimes indicate a gas leak.
![Page 7: Oil and Gas Pipeline Design, Maintenance and Repair 12 Leak detection... · 2006. 8. 25. · PE 607: Oil & Gas Pipeline Design, Maintenance & Repair ١ Dr. Abdel-Alim Hashem Professor](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012006/60f9c3f016224b56e748c301/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
٧PE 607: Oil & Gas Pipeline Design, Maintenance & Repair
4.Fungus-like Growth.• Such growth in valve boxes, manholes, etc., may indicate gas
leakage. • These fungi grow best where there is a lack of oxygen, such as
in a gas leak area. • The color of the growth is generally white or grayish-white
similar to a coating of frost. • All such indications should be investigated with a leak
detection instrument. • Personnel should never enter manholes or other confined
spaces without first testing oxygen levels and gas concentrations.
• Check Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations concerning confined space entry for further details on this subject.

5.Sound.• Listen for leaks.
• A hissing sound almost at: 1- A bad connection. 2- A fractured pipe. 3- A corrosion pit is the usual
indication of a gas leak.
![Page 9: Oil and Gas Pipeline Design, Maintenance and Repair 12 Leak detection... · 2006. 8. 25. · PE 607: Oil & Gas Pipeline Design, Maintenance & Repair ١ Dr. Abdel-Alim Hashem Professor](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012006/60f9c3f016224b56e748c301/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
٩PE 607: Oil & Gas Pipeline Design, Maintenance & Repair
6.Unaccounted for Gas.• A possible leak is indicated when an off-peak reading of a
master meter.
• Periodic off-peak checks can be averaged to provide data for comparison in future checks.
• This method may indicate a leak on the system, but will not provide a location for the leak.
• It is also most effective if consumption figures are known for atime period before the leak(s) occurred.

١٠PE 607: Oil & Gas Pipeline Design, Maintenance & Repair
7.Soap Solutions.• A soap solution can pinpoint the location of a leak on:
1-an exposed pipe. 2- On the riser. 3- On the meter.
• The solution is brushed or sprayed on and the location of bubbling indicates leakage.
• When excavating underground piping to investigate a suspected leak location, the pipe should be brushed and completely clean.
• Many leaks are found on the bottom of the pipe.
• A mirror may be used to observe the underside of the pipe.

Leak Detection Instruments.• Gas leak indicators are sophisticated instruments that require
regular care, maintenance, and calibration, and should be used by trained personnel.
• Two types are commonly used by the gas industry for surveying and pinpointing leak:
- Bead sensor type detector.- Combustible Gas Indicator (CGI).- Flame Ionization (FI) gas detector.
- PD (Personal Detector) Short Locator.

Combustible Gas Indicator (CGI).
• The CGI was designed primarily for use in a confined space. • The CGI (Figure IV-3a & IV-3 b) consists of:
- Meter. - Probe. - Aspirator bulb.• The bulb is pumped by hand to bring a sample of air into the
probe and the instrument. • The CGI is not suitable for above ground surveys. • These instruments must be calibrated for the type of gas in the
system. • The CGI should be calibrated for natural gas for use on a
natural gas system.

Combustible gas indicator (CGI)• There is two main applications for outside surveys are:
1- Available Openings. 2- bar holing.
• A bar hole is a small diameter hole made in the ground in the vicinity of gas piping to extract a sample of the ground atmosphere for leak analysis.
• The CGI instruments are also useful in building surveys and in areas within a building, such as heater closets, and other confined areas.
• A CGI should always be used first when entering a building to determine if a hazardous atmosphere is present.
• The cost of a CGI is substantially lower than an FI unit.
![Page 21: Oil and Gas Pipeline Design, Maintenance and Repair 12 Leak detection... · 2006. 8. 25. · PE 607: Oil & Gas Pipeline Design, Maintenance & Repair ١ Dr. Abdel-Alim Hashem Professor](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012006/60f9c3f016224b56e748c301/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
٢١PE 607: Oil & Gas Pipeline Design, Maintenance & Repair
The Flame Ionization (FI)• The Flame Ionization (FI) detector uses a hydrogen fuel to power a
small flame in a detector cell.
• A pump or venturi system is used to pass continuous air samples through the detector cell.
• This is detected electronically and displayed on a meter readout.
• FI units are equipped with meters that indicate gas concentrations from 1 Part Per Million (PPM) to 10,000 PPM.
• They are also equipped with audible alarms to alert the operator when there is a meter deflection.
• Leak survey can be done more rapidly with an FI unit than with a CGI using the bar hole method.

PD (Personal Detector) Short Locator.
• The depth of the pipe or cable can be accurately determined without the usual bending or kneeling.
• First locate center of the pipe or line "A" by crossing the pipein a sweeping motion.
• A "null" (no signal) will mark the center of the pipe.
• Mark this location "A", moving 90o from the pipe with bubble centered in 45o angle gauge and holding the probe tip close to the ground until another "null"- "B" is detected.
• This distance from "B" to "A" less ½ of the outside diameter of the pipe will be the depth of the buried pipe as in Figure (I).

Recommended Method for Surface Gas Detection Survey with FI Unit (Natural Gas System Only)
• The ability of the gas to vent at the ground surface is critical for the success of a surface survey with an FI unit.
• FI is not to be used when the ground is frozen. • A sampling of the atmosphere , the services should be made at
ground level or at no more than 2 inches above the ground surface. • In areas where the gas piping is under pavement, samplings , curb
lines & available ground surface openings Such as:-1- manholes 2- catch basins 3- sewers 4- Telephone duct openings. 5- Fire & traffic signal boxes 6- cracks in the pavement

Types of Odorants• Most odorants used in the United States are:
a) Mercaptans. b) Mercaptan sulfide blends.
• The only other odorant in wide use is cyclic sulfide (thiophane), which is mainly used in gas systems containing natural odorants.
• The human sense of smell is very discerning and can detect mercaptans at a concentration of only 1 Part Per Billion (PPB).
• The sulfur content of the odorants in the gas stream can be measured by gas analysis, if there is sufficient odorant.
• The main types of detectors are:-1- Odor concentration meters.2- Titrators.3- Gas chromatographs.

Follow-up Inspection
• The adequacy of leak repairs should be checked before backfilling.
• The perimeter of the leak area should be checked with a CGI.
• a follow-up inspection should be made as soon as practical after allowing the soil atmosphere to vent and stabilize.
• OPS suggests follow-up inspection within 24 to 48 hours.

٣٦PE 607: Oil & Gas Pipeline Design, Maintenance & Repair
A method to remember when investigating gas leaks and determining it as follows:
• Where is the gas ? (Use a detector to confirm gas is present)
• How much is there ?(Take readings on the CGI)
• Extent of the spread? (Determine the migration pattern)
• Relation to other structures ?(Is gas detected in or near buildings or in manholes?)
• Evaluate/evacuate? (Classify the leak and take appropriate action)
