The combination of modern computer technology and 15 years of experience in correlation testing produced a highly precise test instrument which allows an unsurpassable accuracy in the location of leaks. Optimum use and cost-efficient maintenance of water supply networks are guaranteed by using the CORRELUX laptop correlator. The CORRELUX laptop correlator combines the measurement accuracy of a 32-bit correlator with a user-friendly operation well-known from Windows-compatible applications.
Operation mode:
Leak noise is caused by water escaping from the leak location in a pipe under pressure. This leak noise travels away from the leak location along the pipe and is picked up by highly sensitive sensors. Either the solid-borne vibration at the pipe wall is measured by piezo-sensors or the fluid-borne vibration in the pipe is measured by hydrophone. The amplified sensor signals are transmitted to the evaluation electronic by a radio circuit. Exact leak location is carried out with modern analysis techniques in the laptop PC.
