In the daily life of the city, the underground pipeline system undertakes the important task of conveying various liquids. Once the pipeline leaks, it will not only cause the waste of water resources, but also may cause damage to the surrounding buildings and environment. Therefore, timely detection and localization of leakage points of underground pipelines is the key to ensure the normal operation of urban infrastructure. In this paper, we will introduce how to accurately determine whether the water inlet pipe is leaking or not, and introduce an effective water leakage detection method.
We need to understand the common phenomenon of water inlet pipe leakage. The water inlet pipe is the pipe connected to the municipal water supply network, including the hot water pipe, cold water pipe and floor heating water pipe in the home. When the water inlet pipe leaks, the following phenomena usually occur:
1. damp marks of water leakage appear on the walls or ceilings. These water marks will gradually expand over time, from the initial size of a coin gradually become the size of a basin, or even larger. This is because the water inside the pipes keeps seeping out under pressure, causing the leak to become more and more visible.
2. Pools of water appear on the floor below the triangular valve of the sink, shower, toilet or basin in your home. Even after wiping dry, new pools of water will soon appear. This is likely to be the inlet pipe leakage in these areas.
3. Once the above phenomenon, we need to take effective leak detection methods to determine the location of the leak. Here is a common method: the use of pipeline leak detector for pressure testing.
Close the pipeline valve to ensure that the entire circuit is well sealed. Then, connect the pipeline leak detector and conduct a pressure test on the pipeline through the instrument. During the pressurization process, the pipeline leak detector captures changes in the sound inside the pipeline to determine the location of the leak.
The pipeline leak detector is an audiometer specifically designed to detect leaks in buried water mains. It can not only pinpoint the location of leaks, but can also be used to detect leaks in other liquids and gases. Through this method, we can quickly and accurately find the leakage point, providing strong support for the subsequent repair work.
In short, underground pipe leakage detection is an important task that requires us to find and locate the leakage point in time. By understanding the common phenomenon of water intake pipe leakage and adopting effective leakage detection methods, we can ensure the safe and stable operation of the city's water supply system and create a comfortable living environment for the public.
