What is Leak Detection?
Leak detection is the process of identifying and locating leaks in pipes, tanks, and other equipment that can cause water or fluid loss. It's a critical step in ensuring the safety and efficiency of your operation.
Types of Leaks
- Leakages due to damaged or corroded pipes
- Leaks caused by faulty valves or fittings
- Leakages resulting from blockages or restrictions in the pipeline
Tools and Methods for Leak Detection
Modern leak detection techniques include hydrostatic testing, ultrasonic leak detection, and infrared thermography. These methods provide accurate and timely results, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.
- Hydrostatic testing: A non-invasive test that uses pressure to detect leaks
- Ultrasonic leak detection: Uses high-frequency sound waves to identify leaks
- Infrared thermography: Uses heat sensors to detect temperature differences, indicating potential leaks
