What is Leak Detection?

Leak detection is the process of identifying and locating water or gas leaks in a system, facility, or building. It's crucial for preventing damage, injuries, and environmental hazards.

Traditional leak detection methods often rely on visual inspections, gas chromatography, or ultrasonic sensors. However, these methods can be time-consuming, expensive, and may not always detect all leaks.

Types of Leak Detection Methods

• Gas leak detection using gas chromatography or infrared spectroscopy
• Water leak detection using ultrasonic sensors, acoustic emission monitoring, or visual inspections with a dye leak detector
• Liquid chemical and toxic substance detection using gas chromatography or other analytical techniques

Applications of Leak Detection

Leak detection is used in various industries, including oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and water treatment.

In addition to preventing environmental harm, leak detection can also help identify potential safety risks and reduce operational costs.
