Bottled Gas Leak and Cost Calculation

Leak rate detection of bottled gas is affected by factors such as, sampling distance and system pressure. Adjust the factors to fine tune the leak rate and leak level.

1. In the Acoustic Analysis pane, set Gas Leak Mode as Bottled Gas.
2. Adjust gas leak detection parameters to increase the detection accuracy.

   Parameters	Description
   Sampling Distance	Sound intensity decreases with distance increases when traveling in a media.
   Pressure	The pressure of inspected container or tube.

   Note

   • Distance unit, pressure unit and leak rate unit and can be changed at > Display Unit.

   • For the images captured by acoustic imaging cameras of early firmware version (versions before V5.5.79), Sampling Distance or Pressure are not allowed to change. Upgrade your camera to the latest version for new features on image capture and analysis.

   Check the number change in Leak Rate in Acoustic Analysis Result window. To open the window, see Window Layout Adjustment for details.

3. Adjust leak level. Larger numbers indicate more severe leaking.

   The Leak Level displayed in Acoustic Analysis Result is a transformed number according to the level settings in the Acoustic Analysis pane.

   Check the leak level change in Acoustic Analysis Result window.

4. Adjust time period for cost calculation via > Display Unit > Leak Cost Time Unit.
5. Adjust Price of Gas to get leakage cost.
   1. Set a unit for Price of Gas. It depends on Currency and Leak Rate Unit. Go to > Display Unit to adjust it.

      When you set Currency as EUR-Euro and Leak Rate Unit as L/min, the unit of Price of Gas is EUR/L.

   2. Adjust the value of Price of Gas.

   Check the amount at Leak Cost in the Acoustic Analysis Result window.
