Abstract
After a brief survey of pipeline leak detection techniques, some mass balance systems are presented. Such systems use a pipeline flow model in order to compute the change in pipeline inventory during a transient flow. The packing term, whose importance is highlighted, is a function of the speed of sound in the pipeline. However, generally, the parameters on which the speed of sound depends are poorly defined. The consequences on leak detection thresholds are described.
