Measuring devices for leak detection and calculation

Around 10% of total industrial electricity consumption is used for compressed air generation in industrialized countries, and in Germany the figure is as high as 14%. Leakages are the main factor for energy losses and most compressed air systems show losses in the range of about 20 % to 40 %, in bad systems even more than 60%. Fixing compressed air leaks is the most effective action for reducing the energy consumption. Compressed air leaks often waste energy 8760 hours (24 h x 365 d) a year and increase compressor run times, which also shortens maintenance intervals. Therefore, it is a must to detect and eliminate leakages frequently. Our LD-Series will give you all the function needed to detect leakages and measure the consequences in terms of energy consumption and wasted money.

Typical applications of our measuring instruments in this section are leakage detection in compressed air systems and leak testing of unpressurized systems.
