description Leak detection is a current field of technology that is used alongside standards and practices to help monitor and maintain continual operation of transporting oil, gases, and other fluid products. Pipeline networks that run across long distances are the safest as well as the most economic mode of transportation.

The research focuses on mix of flow monitoring and balancing methods because it is mainly small-scale design and due to cost relative and field instrumentation availability.
