A pressure-reducing valve (PRV) regulates the outlet pressure regardless of the fluctuating flow and varying inlet pressure, thereby reducing leakage and mitigating the stress on the water distribution system. However, the operation of a PRV is affected by its mechanical condition and hydraulic operability. In this study, a statistical approach is proposed to assess the performance of a PRV by extracting hydraulic pressure noise from pressure data, and applying it to metered areas in the Goseong and Sungeuiwon districts of Goseong city. The proposed approach involves the application of Walsh’s test to detect outliers in the pressure data at a significance level of 5%.The experimental results using field data showed that all measured data items were valid. A high-pass filter was then employed to extract |
