What is Leak Detection?
Leak detection is the process of identifying, locating, and addressing leaks in various industries, including water supply, gas, oil, and industrial processes. Effective leak detection ensures timely repairs, reduces costs, and minimizes environmental impacts.
Types of Leak Detection
Silicone gasket leaks are often detected using thermocouple probes or infrared cameras. For more severe issues, leak detection methods such as audio and video inspections may be employed.
Best Practices for Leak Detection
- Regular maintenance is key to identifying potential leaks before they cause significant damage.
- Avoid using pressure testing as a sole means of leak detection, instead opting for inspections and analysis.
- Implement a comprehensive training program for all personnel involved in the process.
