Understanding Leak Detection
The CubicMeter measures three types of leaks:
small*
medium
large
Each leak type uses a unique thresholds defined in terms of flow rate and duration.
*Requires the device to be integrated to the Quandify platform. Read more here.
Large leak
LCD displays: BURST
The device will trigger an alarm for a large leak when there is a continuous flow over 1500 l/h for a duration of at least 5 minutes.
Medium leak
LCD displays: LEAK
The device will trigger an alarm for a medium leak when there is a continuous flow over 10 l/h for a duration of at least 40 minutes.
Small leak
This feature requires the device to be integrated to the Quandify platform. Read more here.
The Quandify platform will trigger an alarm for a small leak when there is a continuous flow over 1-10 l/h over several days.
Note: A larger leak alarm will always override a smaller leak detection.
Leakage type | Flow rate (L/h) |
Small leakage | >1-9 |
Medium leakage (LEAK) | >10 |
Large leakage (BURST) | >1500 |
