A containment system for installation internally along a conduit, for locating at least one sensing element within the conduit, the containment system comprising:
- an elongate flexible body mountable on a wall of the conduit to extend longitudinally along the conduit,
- the body including an elongate sensor cavity, extending longitudinally along the body, for receiving the at least one sensing element, the system further comprising a flexible membrane providing a wall of the sensor cavity, one side of the membrane facing the interior of the sensor cavity and the other side of the membrane being exposed, in use, to fluid flow within the conduit outside of the sensor cavity and being configured to transfer pressure fluctuations of the fluid flow to the at least one sensing element.
