Leak detection techniques are not exclusively used for the vacuum products but are finding increasing applications in almost all industrial areas. Therefore, leak definition is evolving to accommodate the industry point of view. A leak always requires a flow of mass though the walls of a volume intended to be sealed. It usually results in escape or admission of liquids or gases from sealed comp...

Refrigeration service personnel have used leak detection equipment for years when servicing refrigeration equipment. In the past, leak detection typically was only concerned with leak pinpointing, either with an ultrasonic device, soap bubbles, dyes, thermal conductivity, or other electronic devices. Today, refrigerant leak detectors exist not only for pinpointing leaks, but also for monitoring...

Many fluids transported by pipelines are hazardous. It is therefore often necessary to install leak detection (and localization) systems (LDS), especially due to legal regulations like • the “Code for Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 49 Part 195” [1], API 1130 2 Ed. [2], both for the USA, or • the “Technische Regeln für Fernleitungen” (TRFL) (Technical Rules for Pipelines) in Germany [5]. This p...

Leak detection in transmission pipelines is important for safe operation of pipelines. The probability of leaks may be occurred at any time and location, therefore pipeline leak detection systems play a key role in minimization of the occurrence of leaks probability and their impacts. Today there are many available assortments of modern technologies in the domain of leak detection. This paper p...

This position paper describes the attempt to automate the statistical approach for memory leak detection in JavaTM applications. Proposed system extends the basic statistical memory leak detection method with further intelligence to pinpoint the source of the memory leak in the source code. As the method adds only small overhead in runtime it is designed to be used in production systems and wil...
