Higher Water Quality due to Using Pressure Sensors for Water Pipelines

Nowadays the water used by humans is supplied through permanent underground systems of pressurized pipes. If the water flow is too low, the microbial load of the water will increase, leading to a change in taste and color. The water flow is regulated using a pressure regulator. Adjusting the water pressure also prevents leaking pipelines. Operators use manometers to test the pressure level at the site. A too much drop in water pressure indicates a pipeline leak. In the next step, the results recorded by the manometer are read by a computer.

Engineers have recently designed a manometer, which is a pressure gauge used in urban water distribution systems. This battery-equipped system measures temperature and pressure levels over a long period. Due to the physical relationship between temperature and pressure, high-resolution measurement values ​​are also compensated. The resulting data is stored. Free logger 5 software is provided for configuring and reading data.

This type of manometer is very easy to work with and operators can manage it even without seeing specialized training.
