Leak detection is a critical process in various industries, including infrastructure, energy, and finance. It involves identifying and reporting potential water or gas leaks to prevent environmental damage, financial losses, and safety hazards.
- Leaks can occur due to various reasons such as poor maintenance, faulty equipment, or human error.
- Leak detection systems use sensors and cameras to monitor infrastructure for signs of leakage.
- Identifying leaks early allows for prompt response, reducing damage and minimizing environmental impact.
Leak detection systems typically consist of sensors and cameras that monitor infrastructure for signs of leakage. These systems can be manual or automated, depending on the industry and application.
Some common types of leak detection systems include:
- Ultrasonic sensors for detecting gas leaks in pipelines and storage tanks.
- Acoustic sensors for detecting water leaks in pipes and other infrastructure.
- Thermal imaging cameras for detecting heat signatures indicative of leaks.
