Gas & Water Leak Detection: Equipment Spotlight
Leak detection equipment from SENSIT Technologies, Echologics, Heath Consultants, Fluid Conservation Systems, Moffatt Enterprises and Vivax-Metrotech.
SENSIT Technologies
SENSIT P400 is a multi-gas personal monitor designed to warn the user of hazardous gases in the working environment. The Sensit P400 features an innovative Immediate Detection System to warn the user of changing gas concentrations before alarm conditions are present. Like with all Sensit products the P400 is easy to use, rugged and boasts the lowest cost of ownership. 219.465.2700, gasleaksensors.com
Echologics
Echologics has evolved from a leak detection and pipe condition assessment company to a full service non-revenue water (NRW) solution provider. Echologics can work with your water utility to efficiently and cost-effectively conduct a detailed water audit, develop and implement a NRW management strategy and provide ongoing maintenance to help ensure sustainable NRW reduction. 888-ECHOLOG, echologics.com
Heath Consultants
The Heath AQUA-SCOPE water leak detector is an instrument which amplifies the frequencies (sound waves) generated by a water leak. Operators find that the AQUA-SCOPE allows maximum freedom of movement and superior sensitivity of the audio and visual signals, thereby improving on the detection and pinpointing of leaks from the surface. The AQUA-SCOPE allows an operator to choose between the ground and direct contact microphones to detect sonic frequencies. Electronic circuitry within the water detector amplifies the sound of the water leak and the operator interprets the differences in signal strength to localize the leak for fast pinpointing. 800-HEATH-US, heathus.com
Fluid Conservation Systems
The new Automated Filter Intelligence System (AFIS) for the TriCorr Touch correlator increases its ability to accurately pinpoint leaks. TriCorr Touch uses information gathered from acoustic leak noise sensors placed at intervals along a pipeline to identify and locate leaks in a water distribution system. While most correlators include default filter settings for different pipe materials and sizes, TriCorr Touch’s AFIS automatically runs 55 different filter combinations on the correlation data. This allows TriCorr to check the quality of the results and optimize filter settings as required, until the clearest and most accurate result is presented. 800.531.5465, fluidconservation.com
Moffatt Enterprises
Find a leak in less than 30 seconds before it is buried, without pressure by testing each pipe joint as it is laid. An ultrasonic transmitter is used in coordination with an ultrasonic detector to find the leak. The detector converts inaudible ultrasonic signals into audible tones and amplifies them for ease of detection. By placing the transmitter on the inside of a pipe or test item, the signal will seek out and penetrate any hole in the pipe or joint. 541.548.1144
Vivax-Metrotech
The HL5000-H2 is a unique device that is capable of detecting tracer gas with the option to use acoustic sensors. The combo pack HL5000-CGH carries a contact mic, ground mic and H2 probe. The detection of difficult slab leaks, gasket leaks and sewer joint leaks are now much simpler. 800.638.7682, vxmt.com
