The electronic leak detector uses a transducer that is sensitive to specific forms of noise that originate from underground pipe systems. When such a sound is heard on the machinery it’s transmitted to the monitoring station at a high frequency. If any sounds are detected on or near the machinery then the operator of the control room is notified and they will attempt to locate the source of the noise. The equipment can easily identify the pipe(s) that have been contaminated. This particular piece of equipment is used for all major pipe operations in Canada.
Interesting Facts I Bet You Never Knew About Electronic Leak Detector
It’s very important to know that electronic leak detection does not just detect pipe leaks but it can also detect electrical short circuits as well. The equipment is available in many different configurations. For example it can be small and unobtrusive or extremely large and visible. They are also available with a range of sensitivity. A common setting is one hundred percent detection meaning that if there is even the slightest indication of a potential leak it will trigger an alert with a loud buzzer and notify the monitoring personnel.
When purchasing these devices, it’s important to consider the range of options available. You need to ensure that the electronic leak detectors you are considering are able to detect all forms of underground and pipe and electrical systems. The last thing you want to do is purchase something that doesn’t have the flexibility to detect hidden leaks. Many of the newer designs are very sophisticated and have the capability to detect even very small amounts of leakage.
