Abstract

A method for monitoring a fluid flow, particularly in a building drinking water supply pipe, in order to detect water loss therefrom, is disclosed. The method comprises a first step of measuring the flow rate at a first predetermined time, a step of storing the resulting first measurement and a second step of measuring the flow rate at a second predetermined time if the measurement is higher than a selected value, and a step of comparing the resulting second measurement with the stored measurement. If the measurements at the first and second times differ by more than a predetermined tolerance, the method is stopped and optionally later repeated, and if the two measurements differ by less than the predetermined tolerance, the result of the comparison is reported and/or the supply of fluid is cut off. If two resulting compared measurements differ by less than the predetermined tolerance, the result of the last comparison is reported and/or the supply of fluid is cut off.
