ABSTRACT:
A downstream leak detection system for use with pipeline systems, especially those of residential type, is disclosed. The system makes use of a single thermistor, or other sensing element, to detect extraneous fluid flow via thermal transport. The leakage rate may be set over a wide range, and an alarm is activated when the desired leak flow rate is detected over a predetermined time interval.
