smart memo: a new standard in water pipeline pressure testing, now available in the UK

Synthotech Ltd, a leading UK supplier of specialist pipeline and utility solutions, is the official distributor of Esders GmbH’s innovative “smart memo” system for the United Kingdom.

smart memo is an advance portable device designed for testing pressure and tightness in water and wastewater pipelines. Fully compatible with a wide range of intelligent external pressure sensors, it enables testing in accordance with BS EN 805, BS EN 806, IGN 4-01-03 and BS EN 1610 – all packed into one compact unit.

Compact, powerful and connected

Thanks to its clever modular design featuring external smart sensors, the smart memo stays lightweight (A5 size) while packing in tons of functionality. Its user-friendly interface blends a spacious touchscreen with mechanical keys, making navigation a breeze. You can securely upload test results, including geolocation data and digital signatures, to the Esders Live Cloud. Plus, with remote software updates and technical support, you can minimize downtime and keep operating costs low.

Automated pressure testing

The system offers a fully automated way to pressure test water pipelines, boosting both reliability and efficiency. When paired with the latest motorized test pumps, the smart memo feature allows for remote control of pressurization and pressure maintenance phases, along with automated pressure drop testing. 

Real-time monitoring and extended applications

With the convenient “Real-Time Measurement” feature, engineers can keep an eye on tests as they happen, even during those lengthy procedures like the ones detailed in IGN 4-01-03 or BS EN 805. All it takes is activating the function on any LTE-enabled smart memo through the Esders Connect app. But it doesn’t stop at just water supply systems; the smart memo also handles leak tightness testing in sewers and manholes, fully compliant with BS EN 1610. Plus, when you pair it with the Esders EDS2 level probe, you get accurate water level readings in chambers.

With Synthotech stepping in as the UK distributor, utilities, contractors, and engineering firms now have a direct line to Esders’ smart memo. This innovative solution is not only connected and compliant with standards but also ready for the future when it comes to pressure testing.
