Abstract
The present paper objective is the test process description of the subsystem for detecting unusual events (SDUE) Unified Telemechanics Complex (UTC) at a multi-pipe main gas-pipeline (MGP).
The paper presents:
• a principle of designing a test bench for debugging and checking SDUE on the basis of on-line mathematical model and MGP map as a flow chart;
• the tests complex and their results referred to SDUE operation for detecting unusual events;
• obtained specifications of SDUE.

Materials and methods
Full-scale experiments for defining front characteristics, amplitude and duration of the gas pressure drop caused by “partial pipeline rapture” of the main gas pipeline (MGP) as well as gas pressure drop propagation rate in MGP. Tests at operating gaspipeline.
