Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a leak detection method employing a new concept of discoloration mechanism in which variations of colors can be clearly distinguished. In the method of detecting a leak of a detection target, as a first substance dissolved in the detection target and a second substance having a color changed in reaction to the first substance are used, when the first substance dissolved in the leaked detection target arrives at the second substance, the color change of the second substance can be detected. In accordance with the present invention, since an indicator which is discolored in reaction to a leak detection target substance is not used, there can be an effect of constituting a discoloration mechanism such that variations of colors can be more clearly distinguished. Moreover, since a chroma change can be clearly manifested, there can be an effect of enabling a person to easily check whether discoloration occurs, as well as automatically detecting discoloration by using CCD. 본 발명은 색상의 변화가 명확하게 구분되는 새로운 방식의 변색 메커니즘을 적용한 누출 감지 방법에 관한 것으로, 감지대상물의 누출을 감지하는 방법으로서, 감지대상물에 용해되는 제1물질과 제1물질과 반응하여 색상이 변화되는 제2물질을 사용하여, 누출된 감지대상물에 용해된 제1물질이 제2물질에 도달하면, 제2물질의 색상이 변화되는 것을 감지하는 특징으로 한다. 본 발명은, 누출 감지 대상물질과 반응하여 변색되는 지시약을 사용하지 않음으로써, 색상의 변화가 더욱 명확하게 구분되도록 변색 메커니즘을 구성할 수 있는 효과가 있다. 또한, 채도의 변화가 명확하게 나타나기 때문에, 사람이 변색여부를 확인하기에 용이할 뿐만이 아니라, CCD를 이용하여 자동으로 변색을 감지할 수 있는 뛰어난 효과가 있다.
