Water Leak Detection Methods For Pipelines

Using signal from transmitters this involves inserting the signal transmission apparatus into one end of the underground pipe and on the other end.

Water leak detection methods for pipelines.

Echologics has a long history of developing award winning acoustic technologies for leak detection on buried water pipelines. The ferret uses a simple hydraulic process to locate leaks. Most of the leakage management related methods developed so far can be broadly classified as follows. The most effective method of detecting pipeline leaks is installing sensing equipment such as fiber optics along the entire length of pipe to be monitored.

1 leakage assessment methods which are focusing on quantifying the amount of water lost. Water experts from around the world are choosing echologics leak detection equipment because of its ability to detect leaks accurately and efficiently on all pipe types including pvc. The ferret head is placed inside the pipe which is effectively a deflated balloon attached to a long cord allowing for water to get past it. This is powered by the water pressure in the leaking pipe so the costs of this leak detection is low.

Once the ferret head is inflated with water the pressure is higher than in the water pipe so no water can pass.
