Correlux C-3

Operating Features

The Correlux C-3 Leak Correlator is a highly advanced acoustic leak detection system designed to accurately pinpoint leaks in drinking water pipes using sound analysis technology. By leveraging sophisticated noise correlation algorithms, it efficiently identifies leak locations without the need for disruptive excavation, making it an invaluable tool for municipal water management, pipeline maintenance, and infrastructure repair.

How It Works

The detection process begins with two highly sensitive sensors that are securely attached to the pipe at strategically selected points. These sensors are designed to capture and record the acoustic signals generated by pressurized water escaping through a leak. As water forces its way through cracks, fractures, or weak pipe joints, it creates a distinct noise pattern that varies based on pipe material, pressure, and surrounding environmental factors.

Once the sensors capture the leakage noise, they wirelessly transmit the recorded signals to the Correlux C-3 correlator unit, where advanced digital processing takes place. The correlator compares the sound waves from both sensors and analyzes differences in arrival time, intensity, and frequency to determine the precise location of the leak. This calculation is based on signal delay, distance between sensors, and the known sound velocity in the pipe material, ensuring pinpoint accuracy.
