Technologies for Distribution Networks
Nearly all of leak detection technologies take advantage of the fact that water escaping from a pressurized vessel makes sound. In small diameter metallic mains these sounds propagate for hundreds of feet before dissipating. In distribution networks, mains can usually be accessed via fire hydrants, valves, and meters. The combination of long sound propagation distances and close access points means that correlators can provide good coverage of distribution networks.
