able to know about
 Leak detectors

AEI 405.87 3
Leak detectors
 Leak detector is a device which detects the leakage.

 There are many devices for detection of leakages of gas,

water etc..

 This detector, detects and gives information about the

leakage

 These detectors are used to detect leakage through

valves and stem, tank, gas leakage .

Leak detectors …

 Pressure measurement is most widely used in industry.

The fall of pointer on a pressure gauge indicates the

leakage.

 Bubble emission or foam indicates the leakage.

 Aerosols, paints and paper that change color due to

chemical reaction whenever the leakage exists.

Leak detectors …

 The color change at the spot means their exists

leakage.

 Dyes are also used to detect leak in sewage streams.

 Ultrasonic leak detectors are used to detect leak of

ultrasonic waves.
