Abstract: A method for permanently monitoring pressurized pipelines and line systems, including connected loads, which carry fluid media, includes carrying out pressure measurements in different modes downstream of the transfer point between the supply device and the load connection in order to determine consumption values over predeterminable periods of time and to infer the system state. An electronically controllable shut-off valve is arranged downstream of the transfer point and a pressure sensor is arranged downstream of the valve in the direction of flow. All of the removal locations are closed and pressure is built up in the system. The shut-off valve is closed and an outlet pressure drop, which may be present, is determined over a first period of time and the initial and final pressure values are stored. The valve is opened and the consumption of water with the longest equal flow rate is set and stored as the end of commissioning.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for permanently monitoring pressurized pipelines and line systems, including connected loads, which carry fluid media, wherein pressure measurements are carried out in different modes downstream of the transfer point between the supply device and the load connection in order to determine consumption values over predeterminable periods of time and to infer the system state, said method having the following steps: an electronically controllable shut-off valve is arranged downstream of the transfer point and a pressure sensor is arranged downstream of the valve in the direction of flow; all of the removal locations are closed and pressure is built up in the system; the shut-off valve is closed and an outlet pressure drop, which may be present, is determined over a first period of time and the initial and final pressure values are stored; the valve is opened and the consumption of water with the longest equal flow rate is set and stored as the end of commissioning; a transition i

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for actively monitoring pipelines guiding pressurized media and consumers, which are connected to the respective pipeline or pipeline system, by means of differential pressure measurement. According to the invention, monitoring occurs as to whether permanent and quasi-constant consumption takes place during a specific time period, preferably at the transfer point or behind the point of transfer between the supply device and consumer connection in a continuous manner or in predetermined cycles. If this is the case, it is possible to deduce an abnormal state, e.g. a leak, and an alarm is triggered or the downstream pipeline system is blocked.
