Abstract
Systems and methods of the present disclosure relate to identifying geometric features of a conduit. A method includes controlling a flow into or out of a conduit to induce pressure waves in the conduit; measuring, with a pressure transducer, pressure responses in the conduit due to contact of the pressure waves with a geometric feature of the conduit; and identifying the geometric feature, based on the pressure responses.

A method comprising:
- controlling a flow into or out of a conduit that includes a bend to induce pressure waves in the conduit;
- measuring pressure responses in the conduit due to contact of the pressure waves with the bend;
- and
- identifying a shape of the bend, based on the pressure responses.
