What is Leak Detection?
Leak detection is the process of identifying and locating leaks in pipes, tanks, or other vessels that can cause water damage, corrosion, or even explosions. In simple terms, it's like finding a leaky faucet in your sink.
Benefits of Leak Detection
- Prevents water damage and costly repairs
- Reduces risk of mold and mildew growth
- Minimizes energy consumption by reducing heat loss or gain
Types of Leak Detection
There are several types of leak detection methods, including:
- Radar and ultrasonic leak detectors
- Swimmer detectors (used for detecting leaks under water)
- Couette flow sensors (used in industrial settings)
