Dataset of Flow-Induced Vibrations on a Pipe Conveying Cold Water

Abstract

Analysis of flow-induced pipe vibrations has been applied in a variety of applications, such as flowrate inference and leak detection. These applications are based on a functional relationship between the vibration features estimated in the pipe walls and the dynamics related to the flow of the substance. The dataset described in this document is comprised of signals acquired using an accelerometer attached to a pipe conveying cold water at specific flowrate values. Tests were carried out under numerals of the ISO 4064-1/2: 2016 standard and were performed in two measurement benches designed for flowmeter calibration, and a total of 80 flowrate values, from 25 L/h to 20,000 L/h, were considered. For each flowrate value, 3 to 6 samples were taken, so that the resulting dataset has a total of 382 signals that contain acceleration values in three axes and a timestamp in microseconds.
