Tech leak tracing instruments: thermal, moisture meter, endoscope

Thermal cameras, moisture meters and endoscopes are the three common tools: what each shows, how they work together, and whether owners should buy them.

Why instruments?

  • Reduce unnecessary opening-up
  • Add measurable data
  • Shorten locate time

The three tools

Combined workflow

  1. Thermal scan for suspect zones
  2. Moisture meter to confirm wetness
  3. Track toward the wettest concentration
  4. Endoscope when access exists
  5. Shut-off / hose tests to verify

Should owners buy?
