A few years back I met with some guys who sell ultrasonic leak detection equipment. Although they had no experience with dry pipe sprinkler systems, they did have experience with compressed gas systems of various kinds. Said it would work, especialy if you pumped it up to a higher pressure. I never had enough work to justify buying or even renting the equipment, so do not know how successful it would be. Tom, if you want to try something like that, I can dig around and see if I could find their info. Or you might do a Google search for "ultrasonic leak detection" and see what hits.
