Abstract
Method for micro-leakage detection in a fluid system (), preferably in a potable water system installed in a building (), wherein the fluid system () has a fluid pipe () with a fluid valve (), wherein a fluid flow through the fluid pipe () is stopped when the fluid valve () is closed, and wherein a fluid flow through the fluid pipe () is allowed when the fluid valve () is opened. The method comprises the following steps: Measuring the fluid flow through the fluid pipe () by a flow meter (). Measuring the pipe temperature of the fluid pipe () by at least one pipe temperature sensor (). When there is no fluid flow measured by the flow meter (), particularly because or when the fluid flow through the fluid pipe () is stopped by the fluid valve () being closed, analyzing the pipe temperature for the micro-leakage detection.
