1. A method for receiving and analyzing data for condition assessment within a fluid distribution system, comprising:

  • receiving pipe segment criteria for a pipe segment, the pipe segment comprising a length of a pipe between a first computing node and a second computing node;

    determining a prediction of frequency content based on the pipe segment criteria;

    measuring an actual speed of sound for the pipe segment between the first computing node and the second computing node; and

    comparing the actual speed of sound and a theoretical speed of sound to calculate a predicted pipe degradation for the pipe segment.
