This paper discusses a diagnostic method of monitoring the integrity of dip-pipe legs applied in back-pressure level and density measurement. Applications are often vulnerable to two common faults in instrument pipework: leaks and blockages. Both are surprisingly difficult to diagnose on plant, so a new diagnostic technique has been jointly developed for use at Sellafield site.
