Leak Detection

Leak detection covers the instruments used to locate escaping gas, vacuum and pressure leaks by the ultrasound a turbulent flow generates as it passes through a small opening. Because the ear cannot hear these high-frequency emissions, a detector translates them into an audible signal, letting maintenance and quality teams pinpoint compressed-air losses, vacuum faults and pressure-seal leaks quickly and without shutting a system down. Checkline Europe groups this capability under ultrasonic leak detectors, the practical first choice for fast, non-invasive surveys across plant and equipment.

An effective survey depends on understanding how leak ultrasound is generated and how probe sensitivity affects what you can find. For the principles behind the technique, see the Leak Detection Knowledge Base; when you are ready to specify an instrument, work through the Leak Detection Selection Guide.
