The PAL-300 consists of two sensors (accelerometers) with integral magnets. Each is placed at a suitable access point onto the pipeline being surveyed for leakage (with the leak positioned somewhere between the two sensors).
The easy to use on-screen step-by-step guide prompts the user to enter the pipe diameter(s) and material(s) and the distance (along the pipe) between the two sensors. The instrument will then 'hone in' on any leak noise activity picked up by both sensors and will provide a precise leak position between them, usually to within 0.5m.
The indicated leak position can then be verified by 'surface listening' with the Aquascope-3 prior to excavation and repair.
GUTERMANN INTERNATIONAL has been the leading Swiss enterprise in leak detection technology for almost 50 years. Our pipe and leak locators DETECTON, AQUASCOPE and AQUASCAN have become a synonym for precise detection technology. The AQUASCAN correlator series set new standards in correlation technique, with the PAL we introduce yet a new revolution in leak location. In the PAL we developed the correlation technique further and integrated a sophisticated mathematical system eliminating the need to analyze and interpret curves, frequency spectra and other measuring data. Furthermore, state-of-the-art communication and computer components have been made accessible for leak location. The result is an automatic leakfinder which is at the same time extremely easy to use and very low priced: The new PAL.
PAL 300 In the Field
What
is a PAL ?
PAL is a new-generation automatic leakfinder, the successor
of the conventional correlators. The working principle is
based on the proven correlation technique. The two PAL sensors
are placed on the pipe on both sides of the leak (e.g. on
a valve). The sensors will pick up the leak noise, which
is then processed in the PAL. Within seconds the exact position
of the leak is displayed on the PAL screen.
PAL is super easy to operate
You don't have to worry about using the instrument incorrectly.
After switching on the PAL, everything is indicated on the
display, and from the first moment your PAL will guide you
through the very few steps of leak location - you cannot
do anything wrong.
Interactive
step-by-step guidance
Immediately after starting, your PAL will recognize
whether the sensors are connected and whether the transmitter
is switched on. It will then automatically guide you step
by step through the short leak location procedure. It will
always indicate on the display what you have to do and which
key you have to push. Already after a few moments the exact
position of the leak will be displayed. No curves and complicated
analysis. Just simply a pipe section and the indication,
where the leak is.
Three simple inputs
For the precise leak location the PAL normally needs
just three inputs: the distance between both PAL sensors,
the pipe material and its diameter. But you do not have
to key in the information. The PAL offers on its display
a selection of options and you only have to choose and confirm
the correct option. It's that easy to PAL.
Automatic evaluation of the result
As the leak calculation can sometimes be very difficult
(e.g. weak leak noise, ambient noises and vibrations on
the pipe, etc.), a complex analysis system has been built-in
which constantly calculates, verifies and evaluates in the
background without ever disturbing you while working and
without you ever even noticing it. In addition to the mere
indication of the distance your PAL therefore also offers
a comment on the measurement result - in order to inform
you in case an interfering factor could impair the accuracy
and the quality of this result.
Indisputable financial advantages
The PAL is excellent value. In fact you can get a PAL
for a price the leak location market has never seen before.
It hardly costs more than a high-class ground microphone
system. After using it only once or twice, the purchasing
price is already repaid by the saved costs.
PAL will soon be part of every field operator's standard equipment ... can you afford to wait?
