A pipe that leaks is usually due to a worn-out or damaged part. This can be caused by various factors such as old pipes, improper installation, or manufacturing defects.
- Pressure Sensors: These sensors measure the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the pipe. They can detect leaks within a few percent of the total system pressure.
- Radar Levelling: This technique uses radar waves to measure the distance from the sensor to the leak. It's commonly used in large pipelines to detect leaks.
