What method is appropriate for leak detection in HDPE pipe?
HDPE pipe is a leak free system when heat fused together. As a “zero” leak-rate pipeline, there is no “specification” for leak detection. However, large leaks are easily detected as water quickly reaches the surface. One of the most promising techniques to find smaller leaks is the audio technique, which listens for the sound emitted as the fluid flows irregularly through an unplanned opening in any pipe.
