Correlation Technology for Precise Leak and Pipe Break Detection
Correlation technology is one of the most precise methods for locating pipe breaks in pressurised water networks. Two vibration sensors (contact microphones) are attached to the pipe at different points. An electronic correlator analyses the time difference of the leak noise arriving at each sensor and calculates the most probable leak position – even over longer distances and in branched networks.
In this category you will find correlation systems from F.A.S.T., such as the LOKAL-200PC PC correlator and LOKAL400 kits, which can be configured as correlator, geophone or combined system depending on the setup. The systems typically include measuring boxes with radio modules, vibration sensors, chargers, cable sets and robust ABS transport cases for daily use in water networks.

Advantages of correlation technology for leak detection
- High locating accuracy, even over long distances
By analysing the time difference of leak noise between two sensors, the leak position can be narrowed down very precisely – ideal for municipal drinking water networks and distribution mains.
- Efficient leak detection in complex pipe networks
Correlation technology is particularly suitable for branched, long or poorly accessible pipe sections, where acoustic pinpointing alone may reach its limits.
- Flexible system configuration
Systems such as LOKAL400 can be used as a pure correlator, as a geophone or as a combined solution, depending on the kit. This allows prelocation and pinpointing with one single platform.
- Comfortable radio communication and professional accessories
External measuring boxes with radio modules, high-sensitivity vibration sensors, clear user interfaces and comprehensive accessories provide convenient operation and reliable measurements in everyday field work.
Typical applications
- Leak detection in municipal drinking water networks
- Locating leaks on trunk mains and distribution lines
- Support for water utilities, network operators and service providers during emergency and repair work
- Inspection of pipe sections after construction or rehabilitation projects
