Leak detection in gas pipes

Minor gas leaks can also have major consequences. If gas accumulates, an explosive atmosphere may be created — endangering the integrity of buildings and their inhabitants.

Our expertise

Act immediately in case of a gas leak

Natural gas is lighter than air, which means it normally escapes if there is a leak and will not accumulate. However, an explosive atmosphere may be created if the gas does accumulate — and this can endanger the integrity of buildings and their inhabitants.

Corrosion is not the only cause of leaks: thread connections in steel gas pipes can lose their seal over the years, even in well-maintained installations. If you encounter such a gas leak, you should act immediately because it can seriously jeopardise your safety.

Our approach

Using detectors to trace gas leaks

Thanks to its very accurate and precisely calibrated measuring equipment, Cibor is able to determine if there is a leak and how big it is — and then locate the exact source with a unique inert tracer.

Why smell is not enough

  • A gas smell is often encountered because tetrahydrothiophene (odorant) is added to natural gas
  • This is more difficult with minor gas leaks or leaks where gas accumulates in confined spaces
  • Gas smells are not always encountered — making it difficult to assess all situations

Precisely calibrated equipment

  • Determining if there is a leak and how big it is
  • A unique inert tracer locates the exact source of the leak
  • Detection of all leaks in gas pipes or installations

Repair by your heating engineer

  • When it comes to larger leaks, the leak will only be identified
  • A heating engineer must be called to replace the faulty piece of piping
  • You know exactly where the problem is — no unnecessary replacement work

Applications

When to call in gas leak detection?

From minor leaks to preventive measurements — Cibor detects all leaks in gas pipes and installations.

Minor gas leaks

Minor leaks are hard to notice but can have major consequences.

Confined spaces

Leaks where gas accumulates in confined spaces — an explosive atmosphere may be created.

Thread connections

Thread connections in steel gas pipes can lose their seal over the years.

Corrosion

Corrosion in gas pipes — but it is not the only cause of leaks.

Preventive measurements

More and more preventive measurements, particularly in apartment buildings.

Well-maintained installations

Leaks occur even in well-maintained installations — certainty starts with a measurement.

Prevention

Peace of mind through preventive measurements

Besides dealing with leaks, we are also performing more and more preventive measurements, particularly in apartment buildings. This gives residents peace of mind and allows faults to be identified before real problems arise.

Thanks to very accurate and precisely calibrated measuring equipment, Cibor determines if there is a leak and how big it is — and locates the exact source with a unique inert tracer.

Gas leak detection by Cibor:

  • Detection of all leaks in gas pipes or installations
  • Also for minor leaks and gas accumulating in confined spaces
  • Very accurate and precisely calibrated measuring equipment
  • Thread connections and corrosion in steel gas pipes
  • Determining if there is a leak and how big it is
  • Preventive measurements, particularly in apartment buildings
  • Unique inert tracer to locate the exact source
  • Faults identified before real problems arise
