What to do when there's a leak in an underground water pipe? The best approach is to detect and pinpoint the leak accurately. With detection equipment, you can identify the leak point without having to dig or break the ground. As water leaks are pressurized, they emit sounds, which can be captured by acoustic detection instruments specifically designed for underground water pipes, also known as hidden pipe leaks. These instruments can quickly locate all leak points in the underground water pipes. Only by finding the exact leak location can excavation and repair be carried out effectively. We help our clients solve problems at the root.
Leakage status of water supply networks, related operational technical methods, equipment, scientific management approaches, leakage detection work on water pipes, identifying leakage points in the network to reduce water loss and lower the loss rate of water supply. Leakage in municipal underground water supply pipelines affects tens of thousands of residents. Currently, city residents' water supply and fire-fighting pipelines are transported underground. Water supply pipeline leaks involve nearly a thousand users in nearby residential areas. The cause of leakage in underground water supply pipelines is due to aging. To quickly repair the leaking water pipes, maintenance personnel closed the valves of this section of the pipeline and began emergency repairs. After a night of intensive repairs, as of 8 a.m. tomorrow, the pipeline repairs are largely completed, the water supply lines are back in service, ensuring normal water usage for city residents.
Increasingly, leaks in underground pipelines are becoming more common, and with the widespread use of non-metallic pipelines, leak detection has also become more complex. Therefore, to meet various on-site conditions, it requires a combination of multiple channels and equipment. Yonhui Pipeline Leak Detection Company has successively introduced various instruments and technologies from Germany and Japan, such as leak-related instruments, electronic leak detectors, sound rods, pipeline meters, and detection equipment, etc., to meet leak detection needs for various types of pipelines. Welcome to call for consultation. We sincerely invite hotels, inns, schools, government agencies, organizations, communities, buildings, and property management companies to enter into long-term cooperation agreements!
How to locate a leak in an underground water pipe?
Sound Detection: During the detection of leak noise, the leak may be located at the point with the loudest sound. However, excessive noise can increase the difficulty of both direct and indirect sound detection. Conditions like windy weather, traffic noise, and large pumps can cause issues with the operation. Therefore, conducting sound detection at night is most effective.
Audible Leak Detector: The audible leak detector is the most primitive type of leak detection equipment, consisting of a rod body and an earpiece. It is affordable, easy to use, and still plays a significant role in leak detection operations.
Electronic Stethoscope: An electronic extension of the traditional stethoscope, commonly abbreviated as a stethoscope, it consists of a probe, a main unit, and an earpiece.
The leak detection method of the sound listening device is essentially the same as that of the sound rod. Individually listen for any leak sounds in the accessories of the pipeline in the tested area, initially determining which section of the pipeline may be leaking. Then, walk along the ground above the pipeline, listening every one or two steps, and carefully and slowly move closer to the leak point until the exact location is identified.
