External Leak Detection Body of Knowledge

The purpose of this project is to develop a recommended practice (RP) for external based leak detection on natural gas transmission and distribution pipelines that includes guidance for establishing a technology certification organization. The RP submitted along with this final report is a stand-alone document focused on the steps and factors that a company needs to consider when establishing and operating a leak detection system. To develop the RP, a series of interim reports were prepared to fully detail the rationale and background behind the information and recommendations included in the RP. This final report will serve as a high-level summary of the interim reports that were generated.
