description This project was carried out as a study of pipe leak source location using single channel acoustic emissions (AE) technique. The objectives of this project are to study a reliable and affordable system capable of monitoring pipe leak and also to locate the source of the pipe leak using AE technique. A test rig consists of the pipe without leak and the pipe with leak was developed using circumferential of a galvanized steel pipe to run the experiments. The fluid used was water throughout the experiments. The flow of the water was controlled by a ball valve. The source of the AE signals was from the leak and it was captured using AE sensor with the help of Acoustic Emission Detector 2.1.3 software.
