Sound pulse generator (acoustic location of pipes)
Location of non- metallic pipes
Ref.Num.:166
Specification: For detection and localisation of drinking water pipes out of non-conducting material, such as asbestos, cement, PE and PVC. A sound pulse generator transmits vibrations along the pipe. Depending an type of material, diameter and type of soil, the sound pulses propagate along the pipe and can be detected on the surface by means of a geophone. In this manner the route of the pipe can precisely be located. The achievable range depends on many factors such as depth, type of soil and pipe material. This acoustic location method can also be applied to metal pipes. It is extremely helpful for pipes with Tyton sleeves and in any event when, due to electrical interference, location by electric means is impossible.
Remarks: -none-
Indication: Detection and localisation of drinking water pipes out of non-conducting material. Construction and maintanance of water, sewer and utility lines.
