The Pipe Pecker simply connects to a pipe via a chain. The system then sends an acoustic pulse (knock) down the pipe at different frequencies depending upon the distance required. The noise from the pipe can be detected above ground by using a ground microphone. The system works particularly well on non-metallic potable water pipes such as asbestos cement, PE and PVC.
Distance is dependent upon the depth of the pipe type of soil and pipe material. The Pipe Pecker can also be used on metallic pipes. Particularly useful on pipes with Tyton sleeves and where there is significant electrical interference.
• Location of non-metallic pipes
• Useable for different pipe diameters
• Independent of electrical interference
• Robust housing for field use
• Long operation time and integrated rechargeable batteries
• Variable hammer-frequencies for optimal results
The PWG-II injects an acoustic pulse wave into the pipe, which makes up to 600meters of pipework detectable. The system is simply connected onto the pipe from the meter, valve, hydrant, or top tee.
