Dependencies of this leak • Leak was approx. 250m from the probe. • See the leak in development (in range of 0.04 to 0.16l/s 0.5 to 1.7cm/s • Night analysis won’t give a hint on the distance of leak to WLM-Sensor; water into water less noise is generated • Direction change of flow shows position of leak from WLM-Sensor • Leak gives only a high noise on breakthrough – the longer the leak exists the lower the noise • Advantage of permanent measurement! • 20h later nearly no hint due to the leak noise, only in combination with flow and pressure gives significant indication
