Looking to ditch those pressure chart recorders or run a digital chart recorder side by side for testing various types of pipelines? Download the Hydro App to see live pressure, min/max, and set alarms to monitor the test window pressure. This includes an alarm to instantly bleed off or add pressure to the pipe for those temperature swings. Tap the graph feature and see a live trending graph on your Apple phone or tablet. All this while the data is being stored on the gauge in memory for a permanent record using the Hydro Test Management software or simply send a .pdf file with reading and graph. The app works with all Vaetrix ETG or HTG products regardless if they have just pressure or pressure/temperature. View and email files in the field for easy distribution, therefore saving time and money before you even leave the job. Data includes a date/time stamp for validity and all readings are traceable back to NIST if the gauge is within calibration. This takes the guess work out of whether the test was completed for the correct amount of time and designated test pressure, therefore satisfying the inspector or auditing body.

About

SyncIT Lite

Read full description

SyncIT Lite is a natural gas utility application for field technicians who service and calibrate portable gas detection instruments. The app connects to compatible SENSIT Technologies instruments via Bluetooth or USB, and to SmartCal calibration stations via Wi-Fi or USB. It downloads calibration, bump-test, and session records stored on connected equipment and presents them as reviewable and exportable digital records. SyncIT Lite does not require account registration, login, authentication, or account deletion. On first launch, users create a simple local profile by entering a name of at least two characters and an email address in a standard format. This information is stored locally, is not verified, and is not sent to a server. The app contains no paid content, subscriptions, in-app purchases, or payment flows. It does not provide social or user-generated content features requiring reporting or blocking. Where applicable, the app requests Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, location, camera, or photo/video permissions required for instrument connectivity and field data collection. These permissions are used only to support the app’s functionality. Without physical hardware, the app can still be launched and navigated. Users can access Settings, the Cal Stations and Instruments tabs, and Generate Cal Report. These areas display empty states until compatible hardware is connected. Add Instrument starts a Bluetooth scan, while Add Station starts a Wi-Fi scan for SmartCal stations. No sample files or sample hardware data are bundled with the app.
