AQUASCAN 6500 — Leak Locating Correlator |
|
The correlator unit connects to the serial port of a laptop PC and automatically converts the laptop into a powerful, advanced leak correlator. |
|
AQUASCAN 6500 connects to any laptop PC |
|
The measuring resolution of 16,000 points allows a very accurate pinpointing (locating precision better than 1 cm per 100 m, or 1" per 1,000 ft). |
|
High locating precision |
|
While plastic pipes are often a problem for conventional correlators, the AQUASCAN 6500 has enhanced capabilities for more difficult, low noise and low frequency leaks. |
|
Enhanced performance on PVC and MPDE pipes |

AQUASCAN 6500 |
|
The correlator is supplied with an easy-to-use Windows-compatible software. After deploying the sensors, the user simply keys in the distance between the sensors, the pipe material and the pipe diameter and then starts the correlation. |
|
AQUASCAN 6500 is very easy to use |

AQUASCAN 6500 — Technical Specifications |
|
With a simple mouse-click the user can pop-up additional windows displaying all details of the leak noise and frequency analysis. This allows the user to fine-tune all the standard settings to the specific conditions of any measurement, such as the filter setting to eliminate disturbing ambient noises. |
|
Detailed on-screen information allows to adjust settings |
|
The AQUASCAN 6500 also offers the possibility to suppress any correlation peak caused by disturbing non-leak sources, such as water consumption. |
|
Multi peak suppression eliminates interfering noise sources |
|
The number of stored correlations is limited only by the capacity of the hard disk of the laptop. All necessary correlation data including FFT and coherence is memorized, permitting subsequent off-site re-correlation of the measurements with new or changed parameters. |
|
Large memory |
|
A comprehensive report of the leak detection can be printed out on site, including a drawing of the site-plan with just a few simple mouse-clicks. |
