Leak detection is the process of identifying and locating leaks in a system, device, or container. In various industries, leak detection plays a crucial role in ensuring safety, efficiency, and reliability.
What is Leak Detection?
- Identifying leaks in a system or device
- Locating the source of the leak
- Determining the extent and severity of the leak
- Pressure-based detection (e.g., pneumatic systems)
- Capacitive detection (e.g., sensors for chemical or gas leaks)
- Thermal detection (e.g., heat sensors for temperature-related leaks)
- Biosensor-based detection (e.g., sensors for biological or biomedical applications)
Leak detection is used in various industries, including:
- Aerospace and defense
- Nuclear power plants
- Chemical processing facilities
- Biomedical equipment
- Oil and gas exploration
