What is Leak Detection?
Leak detection is the process of identifying and locating hidden or concealed leaks in various industries, including construction, water management, and chemical processing. It involves using specialized equipment and techniques to detect even minor breaches or leaks that could lead to significant environmental damage or safety hazards.
Methods of Leak Detection
- Acoustic leak detection: Uses sound waves to locate and measure the flow rate of fluids in pipelines, tanks, and other equipment.
- Cameras and sensors: Install cameras or sensors at strategic locations to capture images or data on potential leaks.
- Radar and ultrasonic leak detection: Utilizes radar and ultrasonic waves to detect and locate leaks in various materials.
