Acoustic Leak Detection: scope, checks and next steps
Acoustic detection listens at fittings and along the run to triangulate the leak, which works well on pressurised metal pipework.
What the reported symptom tells us
a leak audible in the system but impossible to place. Record when this occurs, what changed beforehand and whether other equipment is affected. These observations narrow the investigation; they do not prove which part has failed.
