Hello,
Somebody has told me about a kind of "continuous detector" along a water pipe that is able to detect a small leakage at any point of it. It seems that the system consists of some kind of cable that is attached to the outside part of the pipe. Some of its properties change when it is wet and these properties (conductivity?) are monitored so, in that way, any leakage at any point of the pipe could be detected.
All of this is new to me. Does anybody know if this system or something similar exists and is commercially available?
In that case, what is the technical name for such a system?
Does anybody know the name of any company that deals with these systems?
Thanks in advance for your help.
