## [Gas leak detection in boiler rooms](/en-AU/solutions/gas-leak-detection-boiler-rooms) ![Sauermann leak detection](/sites/default/files/entityone_paragraphs/images/SOLUTION-24_Intro_1000x1000_7.png) ## Hazard prevention Maintaining, starting up or modifying boiler room installations is a sensitive operation because even the smallest leak can cause a fire or explosion. Early detection of problems prevents hazards and ensures that systems operate properly. To test tightness, locate leaks or ensure personal protection, a rigorous methodology and reliable equipment are the two pillars of a serious inspection. Sauermann has effective and easy-to-use tools for detecting and locating leaks in installations. ## Parameters to be monitored - **Gas detection (leaks and PPE)** - **Pressure (network tightness)** Network tightness ## Network tightness The network leak test is a regulatory requirement in a lot of countries. Several laws often require this kind of check over combustible gas installations. The frequency of inspections depends on the type of installation and its use. Any significant pressure variation within a system indicates a potential leak. A special gas differential pressure manometer gauge can therefore be used to measure pressure stability. Sauermann offers a wide range of devices that can perform this test, with different measuring ranges up to ±2000 mbar.

An electronic detector quickly locates them so that the necessary measures can be taken to bring the installation into compliance. When it comes to leak detection, Sauermann's Si-CD3 offers numerous advantages, such as ease of use and rapid detection. Its greatest strength is its high sensitivity, which is far superior to traditional soapy water methods. In the event of a fault, its audible and visual alarm alerts you immediately.

For their safety, it is essential that they wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Within the range of PPE, operators can rely on gas detectors to ensure their safety. Whether single or multi-gas, Kimo detectors monitor threshold exceedances in confined spaces, ensuring that every technician is alerted for risks in real time.
