en.Wedoany.com Reported - Xylem Inc. (NYSE: XYL) announced the launch of its next-generation pipeline inspection platform, SmartBall® x. Part of the Pure Technologies brand, this platform integrates leak and gas pocket detection, precise XYZ mapping, and pressure profiling analysis into a single non-destructive inspection run, designed to locate leaks, improve the accuracy of pipeline record drawings, and support maintenance planning. SmartBall x employs a new sensor payload to collect the above comprehensive data in one inspection, with automated analysis and digital reports helping utilities identify pipeline threats faster and enhance the reliability of operational decisions.

"Managing aging underground infrastructure is one of the prominent challenges facing water and wastewater utilities today," said Eric Toffin, Global Product Manager for Assessment Services at Xylem. "SmartBall x simultaneously delivers enhanced leak and gas pocket detection, precise pipeline mapping, and pressure profiling analysis in a single inspection run, providing utilities with a clearer picture of underground conditions. With better data, they can identify issues earlier and accelerate the process from inspection to action."

SmartBall x will be showcased at the American Water Works Association Annual Conference and Exposition ACE26, held from June 21 to 24 in Washington, D.C. Xylem will also offer product demonstrations and media interview opportunities at Booth 806 at ACE26. Eric Toffin will deliver a technical presentation titled "Still Leaking After All These Years: Insights from Two Decades of Transmission Pipeline Inspection" on Tuesday, June 23, at 4:00 PM (Eastern Time).
