Leak Detection

Types of Leak Detection

• Acoustic leak detection: Uses sound waves to detect leaks in pipes or equipment
• Radar leak detection: Uses radar technology to detect and locate leaks
• Gas detectors: Detect gas leaks using sensors and alarm systems
• Cameras: Use images to detect and locate leaks in pipes or equipment

Tools of the Trade

• Pipe snakes: Flexible tubes used to visualize internal pipe conditions
• Bulbs and probes: Used for acoustic, thermal, or gas leak detection
• Gas detectors: Electronic sensors that detect gas levels
• Leak detection cameras: Images are captured to locate leaks

Best Practices for Leak Detection

Try to identify potential sources of leaks before conducting an inspection.

Use a combination of methods (e.g., acoustic, thermal) to detect leaks.

Keep equipment and tools clean and well-maintained.
