Leakage Detector
A leakage detector as the name suggests is a device that allows for an engineer to detect leaks in a series of pipelines carrying water, gas, or petroleum. There are various types of leakage detectors with some being as small as a cell phone. You should always make sure that the leakage detector you use should be accurate and should be able to accurately tell you if there is a leak and if so then where it is. While many of the detectors you find today are mostly made in China there are also a few which are made in the United States but are more expensive than their Chinese counterparts.
There are various types of leakage detectors such as:
- Water leakage detectors – These are special detectors which are used to detect leaks in a series of water pipes. This is often used by the water company to find leaks in commercial and residential pipes.
- Gas leakage detectors – These detectors help engineers find leaks in a gas pipeline.
- Petroleum detectors – The purpose of these detectors is to quickly and accurately pinpoint a leak in a series of petrol lines.
