Underground Leak Detection: An Opportunity for Technology Integration
|
From Flir Systems Incorporated
When a leak presents itself below surface either indoors or outdoors, finding the source can be quite time consuming and expensive. There are many determining factors as to what methodology might be best applied; among them are the material (such as water, gas, oil, etc.), temperature differentials and pressure differentials. In some cases, gas sniffing devices might be used while in others infrared thermography and ultrasound can prove to be quite effective. This paper will demonstrate the effectiveness of integrating ultrasound technology with infrared thermography to locate leaks underground. A brief overview about the principles and methodology of underground leak detection will be followed by actual case histories. Products & Services
Thermal imagers detect heat patterns in the infrared wavelength (1 micron to 100 micron) spectrum.
