Abstract
Implementations of a gas leak indication system may include a plurality of indicator systems coupled with a communication wire, and a ring included in each indicator system of the plurality of indicator systems, the ring configured to be coupled between two hubs of a clamp connector of a plurality of clamp connectors included in a gas pipeline. The communication wire may be operably coupled with a gas leak monitoring system.
Claims20
An indicator system for a gas leak indication system comprising:
- a cap coupled over an indicator coupled to a ring configured to rest against exterior surfaces of a clamp connector, the cap comprising:
- a magnetic sensor in magnetic communication with a permanent magnet coupled to the indicator;
- a controller coupled to the magnetic sensor and configured to process a signal from the magnetic sensor, prepare a corresponding data transmission, and send the data transmission to one of a communication wire or one or more radios operably coupled with the controller;
- and
- a power supply operatively coupled with the controller and the magnetic sensor;
- a ring comprising a flange extending from an interior surface of the ring, the ring comprising a flow opening, and the ring configured to rest against exterior surfaces of a clamp connector;
- and
- an indicator coupled to the ring, the indicator comprising a flow channel extending therethrough in fluid communication with the flow opening of the ring.

A gas leak indication system comprising:
- a plurality of indicator systems coupled with a communication wire, a ring comprised in each indicator system of the plurality of indicator systems, the ring configured to be coupled between two hubs of a clamp connector of a plurality of clamp connectors comprised in a gas pipeline;
- wherein the communication wire is operably coupled with a gas leak monitoring system.
A gas leak indication system comprising:
- a ring comprising a flange extending from an interior surface of the ring, the ring comprising a flow opening, the ring comprising a plurality of projections extending from a surface of the ring configured to engage with interior surfaces of hubs of a clamp connector;
- an indicator coupled to the ring, the indicator configured to continuously monitor for a leak from the clamp connector while gas flows through the clamp connector,
- wherein the indicator is coupled into the flow opening, where the flow opening is configured to orient the indicator substantially perpendicular to the clamp connector.
