ABSTRACT:
A system for detecting fluid-leak in a pipeline or tank is disclosed, which includes a sensing coaxial cable having an outer conductor divided into a plurality of sections and a continuous inner conductor, the coaxial cable being permeable to oily fluids so that the distributed capacity of the coaxial cable can be changed upon penetration by the fluids. Whether or not the change has occurred may be detected by supplying an oscillator signal to each section of the outer conductor to measure an output from the inner conductor at a low frequency signal operational amplifier.
