16 METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING AND LOCATING LEAKS IN PIPELINES ABSTRACT A device and method for locating leaks in a pipe are provided. A leak locator probe (10) is provided and is suitable for being transported along a length of pipe. The leak locator probe (10) defines an annular volume (19) within that portion of pipe adjacent the leak locator probe (10). An aperture (20) is provided that communicates with the interior of the leak locator probe (10) and the annular volume (19) that is defined by the leak locator probe (10) and the pipe. When the leak locator probe (10) is adjacent a leak in a pipe having a positive pressure, an airflow through the aperture (20) occurs, causing the airflow measuring device (22) to detect an airflow thereby indicating the presence of a leak.
