Valve for a leak detector
A leak detector for detecting a leak in a line includes a transmitting device for generating radiation to be coupled into the line. By a receiving device, radiation that has emerged from the line through a leak is received, as a result of which the leak becomes detectable.
1. A valve for a leak detector, the valve comprising:
a valve body; and
a conductor;
wherein the conductor is installed on the valve body;
wherein the valve is adapted to insulate a pipe region for the flow-through of material; and
wherein the conductor is adapted to couple an electromagnetic wave in a pipe such that the electromagnetic wave moves in a longitudinal direction away from the valve.
2. The valve of claim 1 , further comprising an activation shaft, wherein the activation shaft of the valve is configured to be used as the coupling conductor.
