Abstract
The leak detection system encompasses the use of a fluid monitoring device equipped with transmission capabilities and a data acquisition device. The fluid monitoring device monitors consumption of a fluid over a predetermined time period to obtain a consumption value. The fluid monitoring device then compares the consumption value against a pre-established threshold value. If the consumption value is less than the threshold value, the fluid monitoring device produces a leak indication. The fluid monitoring device transmits the leak indication, which is received by the data acquisition device.
