Abstract

A collector line for leakage monitoring and leakage location at a plant includes a carrier tube having a wall with openings formed therein, which are sealed with silicone rubber. This makes it possible to use the collector line during low ambient temperatures. A device and a method for leakage monitoring and leakage location and a pipeline having a collector line, are also provided.
