Pressure calibration strategies
Just a heads-up—this section is still a work in progress! I’ll be revising and expanding it soon to make sure it’s as useful as possible. Curious about what’s already done or currently in the works? Check the changelog for updates.
One of the primary goals of calibration is to ensure your model accurately simulates pressures throughout the network. This is critical because pressure dictates service levels, leakage rates, and the risk of pipe bursts. Here, we explore various techniques and strategies specifically aimed at matching your model-simulated pressures with those observed in the field.
A significant focus will be given to what we've termed the UK-style approach, which often involves the deployment of a network of pressure data loggers to capture continuous pressure data over specific calibration periods, like a representative 24-hour cycle on a typical operational day.
