Abstract:
Examples of collecting and analyzing acoustic data for condition assessment within a fluid distribution system are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a method for collecting and analyzing acoustic data for condition assessment within a fluid distribution system includes: receiving pipe segment criteria for a pipe segment, the pipe segment including a length of a pipe between a first computing node and a second computing node; determining a predicted parameter based on the received pipe segment criteria for the pipe segment; utilizing the predicted parameter to measure an actual speed of sound for the pipe segment between the first computing node and the second computing node; and comparing the actual speed of sound and a theoretical speed of sound to calculate a predicted pipe degradation for the pipe segment.

Claim (Index 20):
The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 17 , wherein the calculation of the theoretical speed of sound in the pipe segment is based on the pipe segment criteria.
