An Experimental Study on the Capability test of a Gas leakage checker for Extinguishing Agent Vessels

In this study the capability test of newly developed gas leakage checkers for gaseous extinguishing systems was conducted. The leakage checker consists of valve body, slip nut, plunger and micro switch etc. Until now extinguishing agent leakage has been checked through direct measuring with a level gauge by a man or measuring its weight using a load cell. The network based leakage checkers for a gaseous fire extinguishing system are able to supervise any gas leakage or discharge for real time 24/7. The working pressure was measured for both leakage checkers and the capability test was repeated 3 times respectively. The averaged working pressure of both leakage checkers were 0.31 bar and 0.30 bar respectively. Consequently the capability of both leakage checkers appeared available.
