Symptoms of a Leaking System
A leaking system can cause significant damage to property and infrastructure, leading to costly repairs and even safety hazards. Some common symptoms include water damage, mold growth, and the presence of mineral deposits.
Types of Leak Detection Methods
- Surface leaks: These occur on the surface of a pipe or duct, often due to corrosion or wear. Common examples include burst pipes and loose connections.
- Pressure leaks: These occur when there is a difference in pressure between two points, often caused by a faulty valve or pipe connection.
Advanced Leak Detection Techniques
Aleksandrov's method of leak detection uses the principle of fluid dynamics to detect leaks in pipes and ducts. This involves using sensors and cameras to measure pressure changes and detect anomalies.
