Compressed Air Leak Survey Checklist

Use this compressed air leak survey checklist on the floor: what to set up before you walk, what to record at each leak, and what to finish after you return — including re-test.

The checklist is capture. It is not leak-detection hardware. If you want the register live while you walk, open the free compressed air leak survey tool on a phone or tablet before you start.

Before the Survey

  • Facility / area defined
  • Compressor operating conditions recorded
  • System pressure recorded
  • Operating hours confirmed
  • Electricity rate available
  • Detection instrument prepared
  • Leak tags prepared
  • Camera / photo method ready
  • Surveyor identified

For Every Leak Found

  • Unique leak tag
  • Area
  • Asset
  • Exact location
  • Pressure
  • Detection method
  • Instrument reading
  • Estimated leak flow
  • Photo / evidence
  • Operational impact
  • Access difficulty
  • Recommended repair
  • Repair owner

After the Survey

  • Review leak register
  • Estimate annual energy loss
  • Estimate annual cost opportunity
  • Prioritize repairs
  • Assign repair owner
  • Record completed repair
  • Schedule re-test

After the walk, move the tags into a leak register so energy, cost, and queue are calculated from the same list. The Compressed Air Leak Survey Tool is built for that hand-off.

Re-test Checklist

  • Leak physically re-tested
  • Post-repair flow recorded
  • Evidence recorded
  • Successful repair marked Verified Closed
  • Failed repair returned to repair queue
  • Verified savings separated from estimated savings

What Happens After the Checklist?

A checklist is only the capture step. Leak management is not finished when the last tag is written down.

Survey → Register → Repair → Re-test → Report

Miss the register and you cannot prioritize. Miss re-test and you cannot prove savings. Miss the report and maintenance and management are working from different lists.
