What is Leak Detection?
Leak detection is the process of identifying and locating hidden or concealed leaks in a system, structure, or facility. This can include leak detection systems (LDSS) that use sensors and cameras to detect gas, water, or other substances.
Types of Leak Detection
- Mechanical leak detection: This involves using traditional methods such as visual inspection, testing for gas leaks with smoke detectors, and using sensors to detect liquid or gaseous substances.
- Cameras-based leak detection: This method uses high-resolution cameras to capture images of the inside or outside of a structure, allowing technicians to identify potential leaks.
Benefits of Leak Detection
Leak detection offers numerous benefits, including increased safety, reduced maintenance costs, and improved compliance with regulatory requirements.
Carefully designed systems can even help prevent accidents by detecting potential hazards before they occur.
