Detect Utility Leaks Instantly With Thermal Imaging - Thermo Elite Inc

Leaks are a common problem in underground pipes and often invisible to the naked eye. Since these pipes are underneath the ground, the leaks may have been present for a while before they are identified. If these leaks are not detected in time, they give rise to grave problems.

  1. Detect Utility Leaks Instantly With Thermal Imaging • Leaks are a common problem in underground pipes and often invisible to the naked eye. Since these pipes are underneath the ground, the leaks may have been present for a while before they are identified. • If these leaks are not detected in time, they give rise to grave problems. You will need to incur expensive bills when it comes to repairing them if neglected. •  Commercial establishments face bigger problems as a utility leak can disrupt business operations causing huge losses. The sooner you identify these pipe leaks, the better it is for you. • Conventional processes like excavation of underground pipes are time-consuming and incur a lot of hassles. Residential and commercial premises might need to shut down the main supply for the leak to be detected.

  2. An overview of the thermal imaging process for inspections  • Thermal imaging is known as infrared thermography. It is used for the identification of changes in electromagnetic spectrums present in an infrared range.  • The naked eye can only see light that is visible but thermal imaging can read wavelengths that you cannot see.  •  It has advantages when it comes to the detection of utility leaks because anything hotter than absolute zero releases infrared radiation. • The same is true for liquids as well. Under the ideal circumstances, thermal imaging is used for the detection of leaks in underground utilities. This generally includes underground pipes. They are often overlooked.  • When using thermal imaging for pipe leaks, the camera does not see the moisture but it can identify the minute differences in the temperatures that arise due to the leaks.

  3. How can you locate a utility leak with the help of thermal imaging? • When the leak comes out from a buried pipe, it looks unusual. There is the presence of thermal anomalies and the shape of the pipe changes. The following are the key factors that determine how the leak in the pipe appears- • The pipe’s temperature • The way the pipe is made • How deep is the pipe buried inside the ground? • The quality of fluid lost • The amount it covers on the ground • The moisture content and the nature of the soil Read More
