Automatic Water Pressure Testing Unit by Aquametrics for Pipe Pressure Tests According to EN 1610
Automatic water pressure testing unit for tests according to EN 1610 (pipe pressure) with water, in combination with the Aquametrics software "Aqua DP 2.3".
Note: The software for Aquametrics products is currently only available in German. If this is a concern, our technical customer support team is happy to assist you.
During the pressure test according to EN 1610 – water pressure – the pressure corresponding to the maximum backwater level at the lowest node must be maintained for 30 minutes. The amount of refilled water during this period is essential for evaluation.
The WDPS system, in combination with the Aqua DP software (in German), performs this task fully automatically: It detects pressure loss during the test via a pressure transmitter installed at the lowest point and automatically refills water if the defined test pressure is undershot.
The refilled water volume is continuously measured by a flow sensor and transmitted directly to Aqua DP. The test pressure is maintained constantly throughout the test period.
The hysteresis, i.e., the pressure range to be applied (in mbar), can be individually adjusted in the Aqua DP software settings. This is particularly helpful for adapting to different test containers – because: mbar is not the same as liters.
For the standard test container from Aquametrics (100 mm), a hysteresis of 6–8 mbar has proven to be optimal. With larger diameters, the hysteresis should be set lower – or as needed. For example, if a pipeline is only allowed to lose 0.8 liters, a suitable test container must be used to measure the water volume accurately.

Maintenance and Service
Depending on the operating conditions, checking the measurement system is absolutely necessary. The recalibration interval depends on the specific application conditions (e.g., separator inspection).
Recommended recalibration interval: 1 year.
Deposits on the ceramic membrane can lead to signal changes. In such cases, the ceramic membrane can be carefully cleaned of deposits using a commercially available descaler and a brush or soft bristle brush. Afterwards, rinse with cold water.
