Water leak detector

Application:

Leakage detection in pipes located at the depth of 6 meters in channel laying and in non-channel laying.
Detection of power alive cables by a passive method at the depth of 6 m.

The kit consists of:

Receiver “АP-015”.
Electromagnetic sensor EМD-230.
Acoustic sensor АD-215.
Headphones.
Optional equipment.

Receiver AP-015 features:

Extremely small dimensions and light weight of the receiver (it can be located in the hand or in the inner pocket of the jacket. There is a special clip for fastening to the belt).
Does not require permanent monitoring of the display, due to sufficient informative sound indication of the nominal and extreme levels of signal (special alarm sounds indicate exactly by which regulator the off-scale reading should be eliminated). It is enough to have quick access to controls.
Transformable filter of high selectivity allows on-cut accurately interfering sounds without damage to the typical sounds of unknown leak.
Increased noise immunity (it is provided by additional preliminary filtration in the first stage of the sensor amplifiers).
Comfortable level of sound in the headphones is set by the operator independently of other settings. A separate volume control does not allow the device to beat on the ears when there is a sudden increase of the signal level.
The «HOLD» (storage) mode is available when the measurements are stopped and sound indication is switched off, and last data is remembered. This mode is particularly actual in leakage detection for quiet reset of microphone AD-215, as well as for data comparing before and after”.

Work regulations:
Tracing mode:

Connect the headphones and electromagnetic sensor EMD to the receiver. Use the mode "Wide strip", 50/60 Hz, 100/120 Hz. Working in this mode allows to find the energized cables (mode "Wide strip", then 50/60 Hz), pipelines under cathode protection and pipelines with induced radiation (radiation, which is induced from all surrounded power supplies and electrical devices located nearby), (mode Wide strip", 100/120 Hz).
While using the operator analyzes the signal level by the level of the sound signal and on the display of the receiver.

Leak detection mode:

Connect the headphones and acoustic sensor АD-215 to the receiver. Use the mode " Wide strip ".

Mechanical ground vibration, appearing due to the leakage from the pipeline, is received by the acoustic sensor using the piezoelectric inverter. Electric signal is received in the electronic unit, then in the headphones and on the display. The operator determines the location of pipeline depressurization by the maximum signal on the display or by specific noise of the leakage flowing from the pipes.
