Leak detection refers to the process of identifying and locating leaks in various systems, such as pipelines, tanks, and vessels. These leaks can cause significant damage, corrosion, and even pose a risk to human life and the environment.
Benefits of Leak Detection
Prevents costly repairs and replacements
Reduces downtime and loss of productivity
Promotes safety by identifying potential hazards early on
Increases efficiency by reducing waste and minimizing the need for remedial work
How to Use Leak Detection Systems
The most common types of leak detection systems include gas detectors, pressure sensors, and infrared cameras.
Gas detectors are used to identify leaks in natural gas pipelines and storage tanks.
Pressure sensors are used to monitor the pressure in pipes and vessels, identifying potential leaks or changes in pressure.
Infrared cameras are used to detect temperature differences between the inside and outside of pipes or vessels, indicating a possible leak.
