Monitor Pressure Without Disrupting Service

Pressure monitoring our distribution system for extended periods presented our utility with two challenges. Inconvenience to your customers during the operation. Staff needed access to homes at various times during the day, but customers weren't always home. Data collection affected by local conditions. For example, in homes, the recorder monitored each time a resident turned on a faucet or flushed a toilet. In a plant or a mill, a recorder is not vibration free and can inadvertently monitor vibrations from other sources. To solve these problems, we constructed a gadget that records and monitors water pressure at fire hydrants. Materials and construction information are included.
