One of the most commonly asked questions when it comes to leak detection is; how is leak detection accurate. Put simply, a multitude of technologies and methods are used in leak detection to ensure a precise and correct detection of any leak – no matter whether it’s a heating leak in a residential property, or a larger leak in a large commercial building.
Below, the team at Specialist Leak Detection has compiled a list of the various methods that are deployed to guarantee accuracy during any leak detection. Read below to learn more, and if you’d like to make an enquiry about your leak – call the team today on 0800 414 8511.
Thermal Imaging Leak Detection
Thermal imaging is one of the best technologies for leak detection. Essentially, it gives a clear X-ray vision of the issue, allowing you to see the leak in more detail and precision. How it works is that the camera solely picks up on heat, instead of just taking a picture. This type of leak detection is particularly useful for when you want to locate concealed pipes, which can only be viewed by infrared radiation. It is also beneficial if you need to track the path of pipes throughout the entire property.
Acoustic Detection
Another technology that is highly effective at detecting leaks is acoustic detection. This type of detection makes use of high-resolution acoustic technology, supplied from the leading manufacturers in the world. The way that it works is by listening and picking up on sounds through a microphone, which is then amplified through a machine.
In addition to this, the latest generation of digital systems is even more accurate because it lets the user listen to the leak noise in a large range, and also cut the noise up into frequencies. This allows you to eliminate noise from external sources such as traffic and people. Instead, you’ll be able to focus just on the leak – so it’s incredibly on-target.
Tracer Gas Detection
Moreover, tracer gas detection is also deployed to make sure that leaks are correctly detected. This method allows you to superbly pinpoint the leak’s location in a short period of time. It works by introducing a tracer gas into the pipe with the suspected leak. The tracer gas will exit the pipe where the leak is, making its way to the surface where it is detected. This type of leak detection is typically used on concrete floors.
