description In order to better model the acoustic signal propagation and attenuation of pipeline leaks, a laboratory gas pipeline leak detection platform taking air as the experimental medium is hereby adopted to investigate the law of hole spacing on acoustic signal propagation and attenuation at different pressures for double-point leaks. The results show that in the case of a fixed pressure, the amplitude of the three hole spacing in the propagation along the pipe decreases gradually, while that near the leak point decreases the most, with a maximum difference being up to 90%, after which the difference gap between the amplitude is gradually narrowed; different hole spacing has little effect on the RMS voltage along the downstream of the double-point leak pipe but exercises a greater effect on the RMS voltage propagation between the double-point leak; the attenuation coefficient of the leak signal decreases generally with the distance, which generally becomes smaller with the increasing distance and that along the downstream of the pipeline and near the leakage point decreases the most in the case of the double-point leakage, with a decrease rate reaching close to 50%. Then, the decrease rate becomes smaller gradually and reaches close to 20%, while that of the attenuation coefficient of the two distances between the three sensors is relatively close for the double-point leakage, with the first section close to 50% to 60% and the second section close to 60% to 80%. Under the condition where the pressure is different and the hole spacing remains the same, the acoustic signal increases with the increasing pressure when the attenuation coefficient decreases.
