Abstract
The following paper presents one of the possible applications of the graphene based flow detector developed at Industrial Research Institute for Automation and Measurements in cooperation with Institute of Electronic Materials Technology, Faculty of Physics of Warsaw University and Apator Powogaz company. Application involves using flow detector to measure the tightness of the water installation fittings. The construction and principle of operation of the developed graphene based leak detector are described in the paper. Results of performed investigation on functional properties and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are also presented. The uncertainty of the tightness measurement was determined. Finally, guidelines that should be met while constructing a leak detector are set in the paper.
