data-view

A high-speed reporting and recording system used with closed-circuit pipeline television equipment. Data-view provides digital indexing of date, job number, footages, and air test pressures in the television picture itself. Where videotape recordings of television pipe inspections or pipe sealing activities are made, data-view reports are automatically recorded on the taped pictures.

net wastewater contribution

In a wastewater collection system, the net wastewater contribution consists of the liquid wastes and liquid-carried wastes transported by the pipelines or received by the pipelines. This value would be the only wastewater found in a collection system if all sources of infiltration, inflow, and exfiltration were eliminated.

video log

A magnetic tape picture recording of a television inspection where data-view reporting has been included as part of the visual record. Also see DATA-VIEW.

WAS

See waste activated sludge.

RO
