Why Choose PTS for Your Data Logger Needs?
We don’t just rent out equipment; we use it daily in our own operations. This hands-on experience means we know our data loggers inside and out. When you hire from us, you’re tapping into a wealth of practical knowledge and support.
What is a Data Logger?
A data logger is a portable device designed to record and store various measurements over time. In the water industry, these typically include pressure, flow rate, and water usage. Our data loggers are engineered for accuracy and reliability in the field.
Key Features of Our Data Loggers
Real-Time Data Collection
Before commissioning new pipelines, pressure tests ensure integrity and identify potential leaks. This process is crucial for maintaining water quality and preventing future issues.
High Accuracy
With an impressive accuracy of ±0.1% of full range readings up to 20 Bar, these data loggers deliver reliable measurements. Precision matters in water-related applications, especially when assessing environmental conditions, detecting leaks, or optimising processes. Users can trust the accuracy of these devices for informed decision-making.
Long-Lasting Battery Life
Battery life is a crucial consideration for field applications. This is addressed by offering extended operational periods. Users can deploy them for extended durations without frequent battery replacements, reducing maintenance efforts and ensuring uninterrupted data collection.
Large Storage Capacity
The ability to store data for up to 63 days of continuous readings is a significant advantage. It allows users to capture long-term trends, analyse historical patterns, and identify seasonal variations. Whether tracking water levels, temperature fluctuations, or chemical concentrations, this ample storage capacity accommodates diverse monitoring needs.
Compact and Rugged Design
Fieldwork demands robust equipment. Data loggers meet this requirement with their compact and rugged design. They can withstand harsh environmental conditions, including temperature extremes, humidity, and physical impacts. Whether deployed in remote locations or industrial settings, their durability ensures reliable performance.
Compatibility with Specialised Monitoring Apps
Integration with specialised monitoring apps enhances usability. Users can access data remotely, set alerts, and visualise trends through user-friendly interfaces. These apps streamline data management, making it easier for water industry professionals to interpret results and take informed actions.
Applications of Data Loggers
Data loggers serve numerous critical functions:
Pressure Testing
Our data loggers are crucial components in pressure testing equipment. They provide accurate, continuous monitoring during tests, ensuring pipeline integrity and identifying potential weaknesses.
Leak Detection
By attaching data loggers to water meters and pipes, we can track water usage 24/7. This constant monitoring helps identify unusual patterns that may indicate leaks, saving water and reducing costs.
Compliance Testing
Data loggers play a vital role in ensuring water companies meet regulatory standards. They provide the detailed, accurate data needed to demonstrate compliance with UK water industry regulations.
System Performance Analysis
Our data loggers offer insights into overall system performance. This data helps water companies optimise their networks, improve efficiency, and plan for future upgrades.
