Compressed Air Leak Survey Report Template
A compressed air leak survey report should document where each leak was found, how it was measured, estimated air and energy loss, repair status, and the result of post-repair verification.
Use the structure below as a working report, not a description of compressed air. Fill it on paper, in a spreadsheet, or record the same fields in the Compressed Air Leak Survey Tool.
What Should a Compressed Air Leak Survey Report Include?
- Project Information — project name, facility, survey date, surveyor.
- Survey Conditions — operating hours, electricity rate, compressor specific power, control method.
- Leak Register — one row per tagged leak with location, flow, cost, and status.
- Estimated Energy Opportunity — annual kWh and cost from the baseline leak flows you recorded.
- Repair Queue — what should be fixed first, with owner and recommended action.
- Repair Status — Open, Planned, Awaiting Re-test, Verified Closed, or Failed Re-test.
- Re-test Results — post-repair flow and pass / fail.
- Verified Savings — counted only after a passing re-test, not from the original estimate.
- Management Summary — counts and dollars a manager can act on without reading every tag.
If you already have a leak list, put it into the Compressed Air Leak Survey Tool so register, queue, re-test, and report stay on the same record.

Leak Register Fields Explained
- Tag
- Unique ID on the physical tag and in the register. Without it, repair and re-test cannot be matched.
- Area / Asset / Location
- Enough for a technician who was not on the survey to find the leak on the first visit.
- Pressure
- Operating pressure at the leak. The same orifice costs more at higher pressure.
- Detection method and flow
- Instrument, estimate, or visual. Record the reading you used. The report does not convert dB to SCFM; enter the flow the technician or instrument provided.
- Annual energy loss and cost
- Planning estimate from flow, specific power, hours, rate, and control assumptions.
- Repair action / owner / status
- Turns the register into a work list. Status must follow the leak through re-test.
- Re-test date, post-repair flow, verified result
- Proof the leak is gone. A blank re-test means the savings are still only estimated.
Repair and Re-test Section
Finding a leak is not the end of the survey.
Find → Record → Repair → Re-test → Verify
Completing a repair does not close the leak. Re-test it. If post-repair flow is 0, mark Verified Closed and record Verified Result. If it still leaks, mark Failed Re-test, return it to the repair queue, and do not count Verified Saving.
Failed Re-test cannot be counted as Verified Saving, even when flow dropped. Reduced-but-still-leaking is remaining opportunity.
Management Summary
A manager should be able to read this page without opening the leak register:
- Total leaks
- Estimated Opportunity
- Open Opportunity
- Repairs completed
- Awaiting Re-test
- Verified Closed
- Failed Re-test
- Verified Result
Keep Estimated Opportunity and Verified Result in separate lines. Mixing them overstates closed savings.
