PCT No. PCT/SE94/00283 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 25, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 25, 1996 PCT Filed Mar. 29, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO94/23242 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 13, 1994Device and method for locating leaks in pipelines, overhearing even weak sounds, from leaking fluid especially in pipelines made of material with limited sound conductivity such as plastic. The device includes a first thin diaphragm with one side in contact with the fluid, whereby vibrations are transferred from the fluid to a second diaphragm joined to the opposite side of the first diaphragm. The second diaphragm is made of a preferably sound-sensitive piezoelectrical plastic foil, the diaphragms being able to co-vibrate with frequencies from one to a few thousand Hertz. The first diaphragm protects against the inner pressure in the liquid line and moderates any sympathetic vibration. The low-frequency A.C. that is generated by the vibration in the second diaphragm is amplified and transposed to a range of frequencies that is audible for the human ear.
