Water Hammer Monitoring System

Any external vibration and environmental interference near the optical fiber will tweak the fiber's core conditions. It changes the fiber's actual length, diameter and internal refractive index. These tiny physical adjustments reshape the backscattered light, shifting its intensity, phase and frequency in real time. We map these unique light signal changes one-to-one with on-site disturbance events. This lets us precisely tell what kind of fault happens and lock down its exact location on the pipeline.

High-frequency pressure sensors keep tracking pressure changes inside pipelines all the time. Our adaptive algorithm picks up negative pressure waves caused by water hammer, pipe bursts and leaks. Highly sensitive hydrophones catch sound signals coming from pipe leaks. We calculate signal arrival time differences to pinpoint fault locations. The dedicated pipeline algorithm delivers more accurate positioning even for pipelines with complex layouts.

AI deep learning models make our event recognition far more reliable for water hammer, bursts and leaks. You will see far fewer false alerts and missed issues. We follow clear layout standards for monitoring points. The spacing is around 13 kilometers for long-distance water transmission lines. It ranges from 0.81 to 1.5 kilometers for urban municipal pipe networks.

This system is built from these core parts: high-frequency pressure sensors, high-sensitivity hydrophones, the remote control unit (RDAU), a power supply, and the full control center hardware and software stack. The RDAU has open ports for flow meters, water quality sensors, and more-you can add those right into the same monitoring network.

• We use a keep-alive heartbeat link. If something goes wrong, the system self-recovers automatically.
• There's a data retransmission feature. When the network comes back up, it sends all missing data to make sure nothing gets lost.
• It does 16-bit high-speed real-time sampling, up to 50 kHz max.
• You can hook up multiple pressure sensors, hydrophones, flow meters, level gauges, all at the same time.
• It supports local preprocessing and edge computing. That cuts down the load on your cloud servers.
• It uses both Beidou/GPS and NTP for dual timekeeping. Every clock across the whole network stays perfectly synced.
• The cloud relay engine works even through local networks. It's built to handle high concurrency and large data throughput.
• Every data point has a timestamp. You can set it to stream continuously, or send data on a fixed schedule. You can adjust the sampling rate and upload timing however you need.
• On the hardware side: 32GB of storage, enough to hold 60 days of cached data. Wide voltage input from 9–36V. There's also an optional built-in rechargeable lithium battery.

1. Pipe Burst Monitoring: Pipe bursts can significantly impact daily life and production, generating numerous complaints. The sudden scouring and stagnation of large amounts of water can also cause secondary disasters, such as damage to surrounding buildings and structures. Immediate detection and location are crucial.

2. Leak Monitoring: Leaks result in both water and heat loss. Simultaneously, the scouring effect of the water flow carries away surrounding soil, worsening the pipeline's structural stress and accelerating its deterioration.

Water Hammer Monitoring: Rapid changes in water velocity within a pipeline can cause water hammer, which can exceed working pressures by several times, damaging valves, pipe joints, and other components.

We built this pipeline monitoring system to catch faults early and keep your pipes safe.

High-frequency pressure sensors track pressure changes 24/7. Our algorithm spots negative pressure waves from water hammer, bursts, and leaks. Ultra-sensitive hydrophones pick up faint leak sounds. We calculate signal arrival times to pinpoint faults, even in complex pipe layouts.

AI deep learning cuts false alerts and missed issues. Monitors are spaced 13 km for long water lines, 0.81–1.5 km for city networks.

It's robust and easy to run. Self-recovery and data retransmission keep data safe. Fast 50 kHz sampling, multi-sensor support, and edge computing lighten cloud loads. Beidou/GPS + NTP sync all clocks. Flexible data timing, 60-day storage, wide voltage input, and optional battery backup.

It stops pipe bursts, leaks, and water hammer-three costly problems that damage property and waste resources. Proven for real pipelines, it gives you reliable protection day in and day out.
