Abstract
A leak detection system including a sensor having a first condition when dry and a second condition when wet; a communication device operatively coupled to the sensor; and an attachment element adapted to attach the leak detection system to an area for monitoring fluid leakage, wherein the attachment element is removable, reusable, or both.
Claims18
A leak detection system comprising:
- a length of material having a number of leak detection systems, each leak detection system comprising:
- a sensor;
- and a communication device operatively coupled to the sensor, wherein the length of material is dividable into n-divisible sections, where n is the number of leak detection systems in the leak detection array, wherein the sensor comprises at least one detection element;
- wherein an attachment element adapted to attach the leak detection system to an area for monitoring fluid leakage, wherein the attachment element is removable, reusable, or both, wherein the detection element comprises an electrical circuit comprising an electronic component comprising at least one of a resistor, a capacitor, an inductor, a transistor, or any combination thereof, wherein the electrical circuit comprises a continuous wire comprising a serpentine shape.
