Application

• Pipe with 0.25 m diameter, made of cast iron
• Fully filled
• Overhead tank featuring one single pipeline and flow in both directions

Definition of tasks

• Comparison between water volumes consumed within the supply network during daytime and the water volumes refilled during nighttime to detect pipeline breaks or leakage
• Measurement on a single pipeline featuring bidirectional flow
• Sensors shall be installed in permanently full, iron cast pressure pipelines (no shut-off or draining devices available)

Solution

• A transmitter Type Type NivuFlow 600 has been selected to solve the task.
• One pair of wetted sensors has been used. These sensors have been screwed into 2 pressure-proof tensioning clamps under operating conditions using a drilling device.
