Pendeteksi Kebocoran Pipa Air Menggunakan Sensor Pressure Transmiter dengan Jarak Jauh Tampilan Smartphone

Abstract

Kebocoran jaringan pipa air dapat menyebabkan kerugian finansial yang besar bagi pihak pengguna sistem perpipaan. PDAM umumnya menggunakan metode manual untuk mendeteksi letak kebocoran pipa, seperti dengan melihat secara kasat mata jika terjadi genangan air yang berada diatas jaringan pipa. Penelitian bertujuan untuk menghasilkan metode guna merancang alat yang dapat mendeteksi letak kebocoran pipa secara cepat dan akurat. Metode dilakukan dengan menggunakan dua buah sensor flowmeter yang ditempatkan sebelum dan sesudah titik kebocoran pipa untuk merekam data selisih debit air masuk dan keluar (ΔQ). Data hasil ditransmisikan ke komputer menggunakan jaringan berbasis TCP/IP. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa semakin kecil nilai selisih debit air masuk dan keluar (ΔQ) maka akan semakin jauh letak kebocoran pipa (X). Penurunan besar diameter lubang bocor (D) sebesar 43% mengakibatkan penurunan nilai selisih debit air masuk dan keluar (ΔQ) sebesar 21%. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut disimpulkan bahwa alat deteksi letak kebocoran pipa menggunakan teknologi sensor flowmeter dapat membedakan letak titik kebocoran pada pipa air secara akurat dan efektif. Telah dirancang alat PENDETEKSI KEBOCORAN PIPA AIR MENGGUNAKAN SENSOR PRESSURE TRANSMITER DENGAN JARAK JAUH TAMPILAN SMARTPHONE.

Pipeline leaks can cause major financial losses for the users of pipeline system. PDAM generally uses manual methods to detect leak location, such as by looking puddle above the pipeline. The research proposed to produce a method to design device that can detect pipeline leak location quickly and accurately. The method use water flow sensors that are placed before and after the leak. The water flow sensors are used to record data of the difference between incoming and outgoing water flow (ΔQ). The data are transmitted to a computer using a network based on TCP/IP. The results showed that the smaller value of the difference between incoming and outgoing water flow (ΔQ), the farther distance leak location (X). If diameter hole (D) had decreased by 43%, the value of the difference between incoming and outgoing water flow (ΔQ) would have decreased by 21%. Based on these results, the device for detecting pipeline leak location with technology water flow sensor can distinguish pipeline leak location accurately and effectively. water pipe leakage detector has been designed using a pressture transmiter sensor with a distance SMARTPHONE. Consists of the ATmega 8535 microcontroller circuit which is used as a leak detector for a water pipe and with the help of an application we can find out the position of the leak remotely which will then be sent to our smartphone. In the design of this tool we will use a comparison of the pressure at two points with a distance that has been predetermined, with the difference in pressure that occurs we can find out that there has been a leak in the water pipe. It aims to reduce the losses experienced by PDAMs in Indonesia.
