Abstract
A method comprises generating, via a pulse generator, a first pressure pulse in a fluid in a pipe and detecting, via a transducer, a first reflected pressure pulse based on the first pressure pulse, wherein the first pressure pulse is reflected by a pipe feature to generate the first reflected pressure pulse. The method comprises generating, with the pulse generator, a second pressure pulse at a later time relative to generating the first pressure pulse, wherein timing of generating of the second pressure pulse is such that the second pressure pulse is superposed with the first reflected pressure pulse such that an amplitude of the second pressure pulse is greater than an amplitude of the first pressure pulse. The method comprises detecting, via the transducer, a second reflected pressure pulse based on the second pressure pulse, and detecting a pipe feature based on the second reflected pressure pulse.
