Some NRW Equipments

Ultrasonic Flowmeter

• Measures the velocity of a fluid with ultrasound to calculate volume flow.
• Can measure the average velocity along the path of an emitted beam of ultrasound.

Portable Ultrasonic Flowmeter

• Used to measure liquid flow rates from the outside of a pipe by clamp-on transducers.
• Ideal for temporary monitoring, system audits, and validating permanent flow meters.

Listening Sticks

• Used to detect hidden, underground water leaks.
• By pressing a metal rod against a pipe, valve, or hydrant, the stick transmits the vibrations of escaping pressurized water up to a hollow earpiece or an amplified sensor.

Electric Testpump

• Used to conduct hydrostatic pressure and leak tests on pipelines, boilers, valves, and pressure vessels.
• It automatically fills a system with liquid (usually water) and pressurizes it to verify structural integrity and identify leaks without manual physical effort.

Leaknoise Detector

• Acoustic or ultrasonic devices that pinpoint hidden leaks by amplifying the sound of escaping fluid or gas.
• They use highly sensitive microphones, headphones, and visual displays to locate pressurised water leaks under ground or within walls, as well as compressed air or gas leaks in industrial settings.

6- meter Automatic Meter Test Bench.

• A specialized calibration system used to evaluate the accuracy, functionality, and performance of utility water meters 
• It allows technicians and manufacturers to verify that meters adhere to standards, for accurate billing.
