The range of sensitivity levels are described according to the following criteria:
Large leaks — 10-2 Pa·m 3/s to 10-5 Pa·m3/s (10–1 cc/sec/atm to 10-4 cc/sec/atm).
Moderate leaks — 10-5 Pa·m 3/s to 10-7 Pa·m3/s (10-4 cc/sec/atm to 10-6 cc/sec/atm
GASCO’s Leak Detection can accurately locate and quantify system leaks and keep your oil and gas processing systems and pipeline operations safe and efficient. The benefit of leak detection in gas and oil pipelines is best understood as reduction in risk exposure, maintaining compliance of strict safety and environmental standards, improved plant and gas transmission and delivery efficiency, and reduced downtime.
