To put it bluntly, leakages can’t be 100% prevented, but they can be contained at an acceptable level through continual monitoring, with the clear areas of concern being human error, mechanical wear and incorrect us of materials.

Most leaks are actually too small to be audible. Those which are heard are generally classified as a loss rather than a leak, but either way, leaks are a waste of money.

As a rule of thumb, 30% of detectable leakages account for up to 80% of avoidable costs. The table above provides an indication of how much air is lost and what costs are incurred depending on the hole diameter.
