A smart way to perform pressure tests on gas and water pipes

The new smart memo pressure measuring system, from Esders, offers many advantages over its predecessor. By connecting several intelligent, interlinkable sensors, it is possible to simultaneously measure and document temperatures with high precision via the ground spike and contact sensor. The new smart function “Dynamic Pressure Test” automatically enables optimised pressure tests during the adjustment time with significant time savings.

Compatible with a multitude of intelligent external pressure sensors, it enables all pressure tests according to DVGW G 469 and W 400 with only one device. Users can equip the smart memo with the software and sensors they need as required. Later required updates, functions and test sequences are simply downloaded online. The main advantage for the operator is that the upgrade can be carried out completely automatically from a desktop.

With the integrated mobile technology, test protocols including legally binding signatures can be transmitted quickly and error-free by email or uploaded to the Esders live cloud. Location data can be automatically stored in the inspection report via GPS. The costs for the transmission of an inspection report are calculated transparently per measurement and are lower than the previous costs for printouts with a printer. A paper document can still be printed out using the Bluetooth interface.

The Dynamic Pressure Test either saves time when less adaptation time is required, or it increases the chance of passing the test when the recommended adaptation time is not sufficient. The Dynamic Pressure Test is a newly developed, smart function that you can use for the first time in our smart memo. It provides you with maximum support in your daily work. It will soon also be available for the German B3 test service line G 459-I and the B3 test supply line G 469.

This compact instrument is the size of half of an A4 sheet of paper, but still incorporates a host of features including enlarged display with touch function and signature capability, LTE data transmission and GPS position data storage and Esders have also doubled the instrument’s operating time.

Bernd Esders, the company’s managing director confidently stated, ‘The smart memo marks an evolutionary technical leap towards completely new functions and possibilities that the new pressure measuring system offers and will offer.”
