With the acceleration of urbanization, the underground pipeline network is becoming more and more complex, and the pipeline leakage problem is becoming more and more prominent. In order to find and repair the leakage in time, various leak detection equipments come into being. Among them, leak detection equipment and listening rod are two kinds of equipment widely used at present.
Second, leak detection equipment
Leak detection equipment is a kind of advanced water leakage detection equipment, which detects the underground pipeline through acoustic wave or electromagnetic wave technology, and can quickly and accurately locate the water leakage point. The equipment consists of probe, host and headset, easy to operate. When used, the probe is placed on the pipeline, the host controls the probe to emit sound waves or electromagnetic waves, and then the headset listens to the returned signal to determine whether there is a water leak.
The advantage of leak detection equipment lies in the fast detection speed and high precision, which can greatly shorten the time of water leakage repair and reduce the waste of water resources. However, the price of the equipment is high, for small businesses and individual users may be difficult to afford.
Third, listen to the leak stick
Listening rod is a kind of original leak detection equipment, composed of rod body and earpiece. It determines if there is a leak by listening to the sound of water flowing through the pipe. Although the listening stick is inexpensive, it requires manual operation and may not be able to accurately determine the sound of small leaks.
Fourth, the future development
With the continuous development of science and technology, more advanced water leakage detection technology may appear in the future. For example, the use of artificial intelligence and big data technology for real-time monitoring and analysis of underground pipelines to achieve automatic detection and early warning of water leakage. In addition, the use of new sensor technology for nondestructive testing of pipelines is also an important direction for future development.
V. CONCLUSION
Leak detection equipment and listening stick are two kinds of leak detection equipment widely used at present. Although they have some shortcomings in application, with the continuous progress and development of technology, more perfect solutions will appear in the future. For enterprises and individual users, choosing the right leak detection equipment is crucial for timely detection and repair of water leaks. At the same time, we also need to pay attention to the development of new detection technology dynamics, in order to better cope with water leakage problems.
