Abstract
A system for monitoring a pipe network for a fire protection system having an evaluation unit with a communication device, and at least one sensor which is arranged on or within at least one pipe of a plurality of pipes of the pipe network and is in communicative signal connection with the communication device. The at least one sensor is configured to collect measurement data indicative of changes in a hydraulic condition of the at least one pipe and to transmit this measurement data to the communication device of the evaluation unit. The evaluation unit is configured to evaluate the measurement data based on assigning the at least one pipe to the specific pipe category in order to generate an evaluation data record indicative of the hydraulic condition of the at least one pipe.
