Failures of a Pipline 1. Related with exploitation: erosions, indentations, fractures, heterogeneit of welds. 2. Caused by a human factor oversight of a damage on the very beginning itself, renovations, earthworks, or construction works, acts of terrorism, acts of sabbotage. 2
Methods of detecting a damage Direct when detection is centered on the external part of the pipeline, useing specialized sensors, and a visual observation Indirect when the examination of the pipeline is made with a analysis and a measurement of the flow parameters, such as: pressure, flow and velocity of the flow 3
Direct methods Acoustic methode based on a detection of the noise made by leakage. The noises are being analised by the acoustic sensors. 4
Indirect methods Based on detection of acoustic waves, made by a leakage Based on balance of the medium leaking from the pipeline considering the accumulation Based on a mathematic model of the object rest on constant comparation of the created object with the actual object 5
Function of the fiber sensor system 1. Diagnose of the leakage: recognition localization (exact co ordinate position) detection 2. Alarm initiation 3. Estimation of losses 4. Resistance of disturbances (frequency of appearing false alarms) 6

Conclusion This fiber optic system has 50 meters accuracy of intruder localization in presented 20 km multimode sensor fiber The modalmetric sensor give information about an authorized access to the fibre Presented sensors arrangement can localize places of attacks on pipeline The sensors can be implemented in existing communication cables/networks To data transfer and monitoring can be used the same fibre 26
