Patent GB-2441788-A (GB)
Title: Method and apparatus for detecting seal leaks in drainage and venting systems for buildings
Inventor: SWAFFIELD JOHN
IPC: G01M3/28
Filed: 2006-09-15
Abstract: The method comprises the following steps <UL ST="-"> <LI>introducing a low amplitude air pressure transient into the drainage and vent system of a building in order to propagate a pressure wave from a fitting (6) into a stack (1) and the network of the drainage system; <LI>recording the passage of said transient by means of an air pressure transducer (7) located near the fitting (6) or introduction area of the transient; <LI>recording the successive pressure reflections of the transient from each drain pipe (2) of the network of the drainage system; <LI>establishing a pressure versus time signature recorded by the pressure transducer (7) and sending those signals to a central data acquisition system. The pressure transient is propagated throughout the network at an acoustic velocity and is reflected by each and every pipe termination of the network so as to establish a characteristic reflection coefficient for each pipe termination. The characteristic reflection coefficient is compared with testing results performed initially in a perfect network with no dry trap defects or leakage's and in case a different signature of the pressure trace is recorded, the point of diversion will be determined at the time at which the reflection from the altered pipe end termination arrives at the air pressure transducer so that the comparison of this defect trace with the stored defect free signature yields that time and, as the wave speed is known, the determination of the distance from the pressure transducer to the defective trap or seal. </UL> There exists a series of claims to the apparatus suitable for carrying out the invention method.

Inventor: WHITELEY CHRISTOPHER JAMES
IPC: E02D17/10
Filed: 2007-04-14
Abstract: A trench cover 12 suitable for covering or bridging trip or drop hazards comprises a generally planar main body 15. The body bears a first protuberance 22 from an edge of the main body 15; a corresponding first recess 24 disposed upon an edge of the main body 15, said first protuberance 22 and said first recess 24 are such that, when the trench cover 12 is in an attachment orientation relative to a similar adjacent trench cover 14, the first protuberance 22 of said trench cover 12 may be releasably received by the first recess 24 of said similar adjacent trench cover 14. When the first protuberance 22 of the trench cover 12 has been received by the first recess 24 of said adjacent similar trench cover 14, the trench cover 12 is rotatable to an attached orientation relative to said similar adjacent trench cover 14, which causes the first protuberance 22 of said trench cover 12 to become retained within the first recess 24 of said similar adjacent trench cover 14, and hence facilitates the releasable attachment of a plurality of trench covers 12 adjacent to one another in an end to end fashion.
