Abstract

The equivalent pi model is utilized to provide an exact representation of the transfer function of a pressure transmitter instrument line. The construct is expanded to include the pressure sensor as well as the possibility of sensing line leakage. The resonant peak magnitude patterns provide a fingerprint indicating the location of the leak within the sensing line.
