Liquid Detection Using Sensors
25 Years of Custom Solutions
Cadis has been building, selling, maintaining, and managing preventive leak detection systems since 1996. We install cables and other sensors at critical locations so that leaks are detected immediately. We have a solution for every type of liquid: water, oil, acids, coolants, solvents, and more.
We’ll design the right solution for you, tailored to your budget, whether it involves double-walled underground pipelines, tanks, technical rooms, operating rooms, or data centers.
Cadis is the exclusive distributor of Chemelex TraceTek products, which are known for their high-quality leak detection equipment. This quality is reflected in their long service life, low maintenance requirements, and reliability.
Leak Detection System
A leak detection system always consists of:
- Sensors: a combination of cables and probes
- Alarm module: a device that reads the sensors and transmits detection signals
- Accessories: mounting clips, position labels, and other components that facilitate the system’s operation
Our experts can design a customized solution for your application, and our technicians will handle the entire installation and testing process.
Principle of Operation
When water is detected, a leak detection cable will change its electrical resistance. This change is measured by an alarm module, which calculates the location of the detection on the cable.
Cables are more suitable for larger areas that need to be protected and offer a wide range of possibilities. For example, cables can be laid on the floor, installed inside an insulated sleeve, attached to the underside of a pipe, etc.
Probes work in a similar way, but measure only a single point. They are more budget-friendly, but also more robust in harsh environments with high levels of dust and moisture.
Many applications
Detecting a leak early can prevent major damage or significantly limit it.
Water leak detection is essential in locations where water damage can have critical consequences, such as:
- Data centers and server rooms
- Utility Rooms
- Piping and Plumbing
- Storage Tanks
- Archives and Museums
The detection of liquids other than water—such as fuel, acids, glycol, or chemicals—is often seen in:
- Semiconductor Industry
- Pharmaceutical Industry
- Food Industry
- Chemical Industry
