Abstract: A system and method are provided for monitoring a piping network. The method includes obtaining data comprising temperature, displacement, and vibration measurements from a plurality of sensor assemblies. The sensor assemblies are selectively installed at a plurality of locations in the piping network, and the piping network is subjected to at least one multi-phase flow effect during its operation. The method also includes analyzing the data using at least one model to: predict pipe life, detect an operational or pipe damage event, and/or trigger preventative maintenance.
