A municipal association in Scandinavia that supplies fresh drinking water and processes rainwater wanted to understand if wastewater was equally distributed across two pipes at one of its wastewater facilities.
As was common practice when these plants were constructed in the 1960s and 1970s the pipes were made from cast iron, which is traditionally very hard to measure.
Due to the age of the…
