5. ation of underground pipes Opening and closing the valve creates a compression wave inside the pipe The pressure differences resulting from operating the RD550 create an acoustically audible noise impulse at the surface The strongest noise impulse at the highest frequency can be measured directly above the pipeline The intensity of the noise and thus the pressure wave on the pipeline created by the RD550 is adjustable through an interchangable plug The RD550 can be adjusted to permanent impulse or interval impulse This allows the operator to distinguish between background noise and noise impulses Table 1 1 Pressures with maximum impulses Distance Rest pressure RD550 pressure Material Comments J sensor m bar min max DN 40 house pipeline Plastics RD550 inside the house ant Oatae DN 100 main pipeline Peries RD550 mounted to hydrant 29 ve ai DN 125 main pipeline ast iton RD550 mounted to hydrant 2 a en DN 125 main pipeline Gast iron RD550 mounted to hydrant di ui SRO The measurements were measured and recorded using a high resolution pressure logger that records 100 pressure values per second The analysis is shown on page 3 NOTE The operation must check that the pipeline can withstand the above pressure values with every stroke of the RD550 Radiodetection cannot assume responsibility for pipeline damages or any other subsequent damages RD550 Operation Manual 1
