Since the 1990s, pressure waves propagating in pressurized pipes during a transient event have been re-evaluated both in the laboratory and in real systems as a way to obtain information about location and size of leaks. However, a systematic analysis of the obtained results has not been offered yet in the literature. In this paper, a review of the available experimental data concerning the use of transient tests for leak identification in pressurized pipe systems is presented. The selected data are examined with regard to the main features (categories) influencing the transient response of a leaky pipe system: layout, modality of transient generation, material, diameter, pre-transient pressure and flow condition, inserted pressure wave, and leak characteristics. Moreover, for each of such categories, possible specific issues to address for future research are proposed.

自 1990 年代以来，已在实验室和实际系统中对瞬态事件期间在加压管道中传播的压力波进行了重新评估，以此作为获取有关泄漏位置和大小信息的一种方式。然而，文献中尚未对所获得的结果进行系统分析。在本文中，介绍了有关在加压管道系统中使用瞬态测试进行泄漏识别的可用实验数据的回顾。根据影响泄漏管道系统瞬态响应的主要特征（类别）检查所选数据：布局、瞬态产生的方式、材料、直径、瞬态前压力和流动条件、插入的压力波和泄漏特性. 此外，对于每个此类类别，
