Table-6 Technical developments in leakage preventionby Tokyo Metropolitan GovernmentFreezing methodThis method suspends water by freezing up the water inside the pipe with liquid air in repairs.Electronic leakage detectorThis instrument can pick up the leakage noise electrically on ground surface.Portable minimum flow meterThis flow meter is used at the minimum night flow measurement.Correlation type leakage detectorThis instrument locates the leakage by processing leakage noise picked up at two point on pipe.Underground radarThis radar radiates electro-magnetic wave to ground so as to search the underground condition.Time integral type leakage detectorMaking use of the continuity of leakage noise, this instrument is able to check whether the leakageexists or not.Transmission-type leakage detectorIt is a device to locate the place of water leakage by detecting the helium gas injected into the waterpipe and then discharged through the leakage spot to the soil.- 24 -
