METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR FLUID FLOW MONITORING AND LEAK DETECTION
According to at least one aspect, a tubular system comprises a first tubular portion defining a first opening for receiving a first transducer holder and a second opening for receiving a second transducer holder, the first opening and the second opening aligned along a line intersecting with a longitudinal axis of the tubular system; a second tubular portion defining a cavity having a first diameter larger than a second diameter of the first tubular portion and sized to receive a shut-off valve; a first check valve coupled with the first tubular portion, the first check valve allowing fluid flow only in a single direction through the first tubular portion; and a controller configured to: receive, via a wireless connection, measurement signals corresponding to a fluid flow rate through the first tubular portion of the tubular system; determine, from the received measurement signals, that the fluid flow rate exceeds a predetermined threshold in excess of a predetermined amount of time; close the shut-off valve responsive to the determining that the fluid flow rate exceeds the predetermined threshold for the predetermined amount of time; and transmit, using the wireless connection, a status of the shut-off valve.
