Leak - calculate leak frequency

An established technical failure frequency database to calculate leak frequency in process equipment and manage your risk.

Leak has a built-in technical database with extensive risk and reliability data from industry sources. On the basis of this, the software is used to calculate the leak frequencies of sets of equipment, segments, areas and installations from a set of base element data. The output can be used to provide important information on which parts of the plant or types of equipment are most likely to generate leaks. It ensures that any changes to an installation can be accounted for quickly and easily in the frequency assessment. In addition, sensitivity analysis for a range of hole sizes or release rates can be performed efficiently and in a structured manner.

To calculate frequencies for events based on historical records, you need the historical failure frequencies for leaks of different sizes and from different types of equipment, (e.g. flanges, pipes, vessels). These historical frequencies should then be multiplied by the inventory in your system. If your system is complex these calculations will involve a large volume of input data and will take a significant amount of time if performed by hand. The historical data can also be time-consuming to find. Leak makes your task much easier and provides you with a validated database of failure frequencies on which you can build your analysis.
