The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) offers natural gas leak detection services that identify gas leaks, enabling our clients to address the issue before it worsens. Natural gas is an important energy source for modern industrial environments where high-temperature processes take place. However, over time, gas leaks can occur, compromising the well-being of personnel, infrastructure, and the surrounding ecosystem. Applied Technical Services is a certified third-party inspector with the qualifications and capabilities needed to inspect a variety of sites for signs of natural gas leaks.
What is a Natural Gas Leak?
A natural gas leak occurs when pressurized gas escapes from a pipeline, tank, or container. In industrial environments, gas leaks can arise from a multitude of issues, such as:
- Corrosion
- Improper installation
- Mechanical damage
- Seal and joint degradation over time
Natural gas is often colorless and odorless, so it’s difficult to detect leaks without specialized equipment. While the gas leak may produce a distinct smell or an audible hiss or whistle, it’s safest to seek the services of a licensed professional who can carefully inspect your property and equipment to determine if leaks are present.
About Our Natural Gas Leak Detection Services
Applied Technical Services conducts comprehensive nondestructive tests that identify natural gas leaks with precision and reliability. Our expertise in various inspection and detection processes enables us to employ proven techniques capable of locating leaks, including ultrasonic and infrared gas leak detection methodologies.
Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detection
Ultrasonic gas leak detection is the process of using acoustic sensors to identify and locate leaks present within a piece of equipment. It’s effective at quickly locating small leaks and is the ideal choice in environments where gas is easily dissipated, and traditional methods become less reliable.
Infrared Gas Leak Detection
Infrared gas leak detection uses infrared thermal cameras to convert invisible infrared radiation into cloud-like imagery, confirming the presence of a leak. Infrared is adept at detecting gas leaks in large spaces, allowing personnel to detect leaks from a safe distance.
