Glossary:Acoustic leak detection
(For through valve leakage) Acoustic leak detectors capture the acoustic signal of pressurized gas escaping from a valve plug or gate that is not tightly sealed. They can detect either low or high frequency audio signals and are useful for detecting internal through valve leaks or ultrasonic signals from blowdown valves and pressure relief valves[1].
