How to detect leak points in gas pipelines
Thread Content
Inspection devices are used to check the main pipelines in the plant, but there are quite a few potential leakage points at the flanges, flow meters, pressure gauges, and so on of the branch pipelines in various workshops. Are there any good methods for conducting regular inspections over the long term?
Using a VOC detector to identify leakage points in static seals such as flanges is quick and accurate.

Install a fixed 24/7 online monitoring system
Soapy water is a hassle – there are too many potential leakage points. It’s better to install online monitoring instead
Soapy water – it saves money, but it requires more labor and demands high levels of dedication from the workers； Willing to invest money in installing a GDS alarm system in the factory premises, through outsourcing
This is an instrument with online gas alarm detection
1. Use a portable detector for the main pipeline； 2. Flanges on the branch pipelines in the workshop, as well as flow meters and pressure gauges, are prone to leakage over time due to prolonged use. In addition to portable detectors for easy use, fixed detectors are also necessary in high-risk areas. 3. The traditional method involves using laundry detergent solution for testing in these areas. 4. Regular inspections should be carried out by personnel using detectors at key locations. 5. If the equipment pads become worn out or bolts and nuts loosen, they should be replaced or tightened using copper tools to prevent the problem from worsening.
