Leak detection based on acoustic and pressure signals

A method for monitoring leakage in a piping system, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a detector of a meter, a first signal from a pressure sensor, wherein the meter comprises an inlet attachable to the piping system, an outlet attachable to the piping system, and a passageway between the inlet and the outlet;
• receiving, by the detector, a second signal from an acoustic sensor;
• selecting, by the detector, an acoustic analytics process based on a pressure value associated with the first signal;
• analyzing, by the detector, the second signal based on the acoustic analytics process;
• detecting a leak in the piping system based on the analysis;
• and
• generating and transmitting, by the detector, an alert in response to detecting the leak in the piping system.

A system for monitoring leakage in a piping system, the system comprising:

• a pressure sensor;
• an acoustic sensor;
• and
• a computing device communicably coupled to the pressure sensor and the acoustic sensor, the computing device configured to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a first signal from the pressure sensor;
• receiving a second signal from the acoustic sensor;
• selecting an acoustic analytics process based on a pressure value associated with the first signal;
• analyzing the second signal based on the acoustic analytics process;
• detecting a leak in the piping system based on the analysis;
• and
• generating and transmitting an alert in response to detecting the leak in the piping system.
