Turbidity measurement

Equipped with state-of-the-art software, every measurement allows the water pressure, flow rate and total flow rate to be displayed from the start. The device measures creeping flows and carries out fire-fighting water and well water volume measurements. As an option, the temperature can now be measured and documented as well.

In water management, there is always a possibility, especially during flushing campaigns, to determine the FNU values by means of the separate turbidity measurement¹ and thus effectively adapt the flushing strategy in a way that conserves resources.

Data transfer via Bluetooth from the hydrant tester to the mobile device using an app

In addition to the easy-to-read display, the measurement process can now also be controlled using the tried and tested app from wasserkarte.info. All the measurement data for pressure, flow, temperature, and turbidity¹ are transmitted live from the hydrant tester to the app. The measurement protocols and diagrams are displayed directly as a preview. The holistic approach to hydrant maintenance – from documentation, planning, localisation and performance to servicing.

¹ The turbidity is measured using a separate sensor that is connected to the mag-flux HTL.

Workflow of a hydrant performance measurement

1. Scan

Graphic: Scan the Qr code at the hydrant

The hydrant / measuring point is selected using the water map app (in this example by using a QR code). The Bluetooth connection to the measuring device is then established.

2. Capture

After the connection has been established, a new entry (measurement) is selected.

3. Measure

As soon as it is possible to commence the hydrant measurement, it is easily started using the water map app (or alternatively on the measuring device). The measured values are displayed online on the measuring device and the water map app in a graphic display or table.

4. Synchronise

As soon as the measurement is complete and synchronised, the measured values can be viewed online where they can easily be further processed.

Functions in detail

Installation instructions

Function and performance tests can be carried out immediately after installation.
In parallel with new installations, the data is recorded in the digital system and the initial information is stored.
In addition, several photos, for example of the mounting position and signs, can be stored. These can be quickly found and retrieved later.
The ease of use, precise measurement values and automatic measurement data transfer into the digital system make the job much easier!
The measuring point can be clearly assigned using a QR code.

Function and use

With clear map views, information about the current status of the water supply can be quickly generated.
Cross-user use with different authorisation levels makes work easier.
Cross-functional use of the data ensures optimal cooperation between water supply and firefighting.
Numerous application-oriented functions, such as augmented reality, GPS map views over an area, coloured functional status markings, zoom functions down to the individual hydrant (including their measured performance values) all ensure fast and efficient preparation of the extinguishing water supply during firefighting.

Maintenance

Maintenance can be documented directly on site without paper and without an internet connection.
Measurements of the pressure, flow rate, temperature and turbidity¹ parameters can be carried out and documented simply and efficiently.
The measuring points can be clearly assigned using a QR code.
All relevant data is thus available digitally on the mobile device and in the web-based online version.
Measured values can be displayed and documented online.
Maintenance records using logs.
Where there are different maintenance intervals, this allows maintenance planning to be carried out efficiently. Open activities are clearly displayed, and notifications can also be triggered in the event of deficiency reports. There is also no need to search for the correct maintenance forms, since the right one is always available!
