What is the significance of water leak detection?

Posted on 15 May, 2023 by BindaJD

Water is an important resource that is indispensable for urban life and industrial development, and all life activities cannot be carried out without it. At present, due to the rapid development of society, the contradiction between supply and demand of water resources is becoming more and more prominent and has become a major problem faced by the whole world.

In order to meet the ever-increasing demand for water, it is not only necessary to have abundant water sources and scientific and rational water conservation measures, but also to have a healthy operation of the pipeline network that transports water.

Today, underground pipelines are densely packed and intertwined, forming their own distinct networks, and are therefore known as underground "lifelines". These "lifelines", which carry out the transport of energy and materials, are the basis for the survival and development of the company. The healthy operation of the underground pipeline network is the basic guarantee for the long-term, stable and normal functioning of the installation.

The significance of water leakage detection

1. To ensure long-term, stable and healthy operation of the pipe network, providing basic protection for safe production.

2. To save water resources, reduce water supply costs and improve economic efficiency.

3. Reduce the danger of leaks to nearby roads, building facilities and installations, and eliminate safety hazards caused by leaks.

4. Protect the environment and prevent water pollution.

5. Prepare for the next water balance test.

Principle of water leak detection:

When a leak occurs in a water supply pipe, the overflow of water under pressure will produce a noise which will spread along the pipe to both sides or along the medium to the ground. Water leak detection is to pick up the sound of this leak through the instrument and convert it into an electrical signal, which is amplified and digitally filtered accordingly to determine the exact location of the leak.
