Leak detection and location of flanged pipes: An integrated approach of principle component analysis and guided wave mode

[Display omitted] •A leak regional and precise location method is proposed in flanged pipes.•The PCA along with T2 and Q statistics are adopted for leak regional location.•The VMD is adopted to extract center frequency of IMF and to de-noise.•The wave speed for leak location is selected based on the...
