New Zealand Government Issues Patent for Multi-Sensor Machine-Intelligent Probe for Leak Detection Where New Technology Doesn’t Require ‘Hearing’ Leaks and Has 1cm Accuracy
SACRAMENTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#ASTMF2550–California-based cleantech leader, Electro Scan Inc., announced its 14th international patent for its groundbreaking multi-sensor technology that accurately locates & measures water leaks.
While traditional solutions ‘listen’ for a leak or rely on cameras to ‘see’ a leak, Electro Scan’s machine-intelligent probe automatically measures leaks by locating actual cracks & holes that go through the pipe wall, measuring the size of each opening using harmless low voltage electric current.
The Electro Scan technology also evaluates pipe wall thicknesses, particularly in Asbestos Cement (AC) pipes that tend to burst, collapse, or lead to catastrophic failure without warning.
