What is Leak Detection?

Leak detection refers to the process of identifying and locating leaks in systems, devices, or infrastructure. This can include pipes, pipelines, water treatment plants, electrical circuits, or any other type of device that could potentially leak or fail.

Types of Leak Detection Methods

• Disharmonic Flow Meter (DFM) - A non-invasive method that uses sound waves to detect leaks.
• Radar (Radio Detection and Ranging) - Uses radio waves to locate and track devices or objects.
• Acoustic Emission (AE) sensors - Detects vibrations or sounds generated by a device or object.

Benefits and Advantages of Leak Detection

Regular leak detection can help prevent costly damage, reduce downtime, and improve overall efficiency.

• Reduced risk of accidents or injuries related to water or chemical spills.
• Increased revenue through reduced maintenance and repair costs.
• Improved compliance with safety regulations and standards.

Industry Application of Leak Detection

Leak detection is a critical component in various industries, including:

1. Nuclear Power Plants - Prevents radioactive material leaks and ensures safe operation.
2. Chemical Processing Plants - Ensures compliance with safety regulations and minimizes environmental impact.
3. Water Treatment Plants - Identifies and corrects leaks to maintain water quality.
