What is Leak Detection?
Leak detection refers to the process of identifying and locating leaks in various systems, including water pipes, oil refineries, or industrial processes. This can be crucial for preventing accidents, reducing costs, and ensuring compliance with regulations.
The Leak Detection Process
- Inspection and investigation
- Use of specialized equipment (e.g., thermal imaging cameras, acoustic sensors)
- Digging or trenching for access to underground areas
- Identification and analysis of leaks
Leak Detection Technologies
- Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
- Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) imaging
- Acoustic emission monitoring
- UV light and laser technology
