What is Leak Detection?
Leak detection is the process of identifying and locating leaks in various systems, including grain storage and feedlots. This can be done using a variety of techniques, such as infrared thermography, dye flushing, and ultrasonic testing.
Types of Leak Detection Methods
- Infrared thermography: uses heat signatures to detect temperature differences between the inside and outside of a system
- Dye flushing: injects dye into a system to highlight leaks through color changes
- Ultrasonic testing: uses high-frequency sound waves to detect leaks in pipes and other systems
Benefits of Leak Detection
Leak detection can help prevent costly damage to equipment, reduce energy consumption, and improve overall system performance.
