What is Leak Detection?

Lack of leaks in a system, infrastructure, or process can lead to significant financial losses and reputational damage. Leak detection is the process of identifying and locating sources of leaks in real-time.

"The cost of leaking water is more than twice that of repairing it." - Unknown

Types of Leaks

• Fluid leaks: oil, gas, and chemical leaks.
• Water leaks: sewage, drinking water, and stormwater.
• Gas leaks: natural gas and propane leaks.
• Cable and fiber optic leaks: data transmission and internet connectivity issues.

Leak Detection Methods

1. Pressure testing: using compressed air or nitrogen to detect pressure drops in pipes.
2. Ultrasonic testing: using high-frequency sound waves to detect leaks in pipes and vessels.
3. Capillary leak detection: using a capillary tube to detect small leaks in tubes and hoses.
