Permeation leak:
There's also permeation, the passage of fluid into,
through, and out of a pressure barrier having no holes Virtual leak
large enough to permit more than a small fraction of
the molecules to pass through any one hole.
Permeation leak
Outgassing :-
Outgassing is the spontaneous evolution of gas from solid or liquid,
Gas molecules dissolved in the bulk of materials are also a source of gas. They diffuse
towards the surfaces and are then released.

Sonic leak detection technology:
Liquid leaks can be detected using infrared cameras as the thermal conductivity
in wet ground is different than in dry ground.
For its use as a continuous leak detection method, however, it’s important to
note whether the leak detection occurs automatically or whether monitoring by
personnel is necessary.
Leaks are responsible for increasing energy in pipes by increasing water consumptions
rate and leads to contamination of water.
It also damages road and endanger the foundation of building(Price and Reed 1989).
In 2016 ,19.8% of water was wasted due to leakage in water pipe network and
branches in Sao Paulo in comparison with the 16% of UK(SABESP,2016).
To determine the location of crack acoustic correlation method uses:
a) Delay time of the arrival of the leak noise at the sensor.

Piezoelectric accelerometers with a sensitivity of 100 mV/g were mounted with
glue at the access points and used for vibration measurements.
The signals from the sensors were transmitted through cables of approximately 20
m length to the data acquisition system model LMS SCADA XS.
Leak signals were collected simultaneously for 2 minutes with a sampling
frequency of 8192 Hz.
