Air Leak Detection Survey

Compressed air powers essential tools, production lines, and safety systems, representing about 10% of Europe’s industrial energy use. Yet, unnoticed leaks often drain valuable resources, with businesses unaware of the energy and money lost until it's too late. While some leaks are audible, many are either silent or hidden, making it crucial for businesses to conduct an air leak detection survey to prevent unnecessary waste and optimize efficiency.

What Causes Air Leaks?

Air leaks are a common issue in compressed air systems. However, regular leak testing and maintenance can help prevent leaks and extend the life of your compressor. Here are some key causes of air leakage:

Wear & Tear: Over time, seals in pneumatic equipment can degrade, crack, or wear out, allowing air to escape.

Moisture-Laden Air: Untreated or semi-treated air, rich in moisture, can enter the system and damage internal pipe components. This is one of the most frequent causes of air leaks.

Improper Material Selection: Choosing the wrong materials for the piping can lead to erosion. For example, uncoated carbon steel pipes are prone to surface corrosion, which can cause leaks.

Loose Joints and Seals: Undersized pipes and loose joints can create high-pressure zones, leading to pipe corrosion and eventual air leakage.

The benefits of conducting a survey...

Reduce Energy Costs
& Consumption

Compressed air leaks can waste up to 30% of a system’s energy, increasing costs and reducing efficiency.

Increase Equipment Lifecycle

Identifying and fixing leaks in a compressed air system prevents strain on equipment, reducing wear, minimizing overheating risks, and lowering the need for frequent repairs.

Minimize Reactive Maintenance

Unforeseen equipment breakdowns can stop production, leading to major disruptions in your operations.
