Glass-fibre Probe System

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes a glass-fibre probe system used for locating non-metallic pipes, which cannot conduct electrical current. The system includes glass-fibre probes and mini pig transmitters to trace the route and determine the depth of such pipes.
System Components:
  • Glass-fibre Probe: Contains a continuous copper length, inserted into the pipe, connected to a signal generator, and traced using the FERROPHON® system.
  • Mini Pig Transmitter: A battery-driven device that generates an electromagnetic field to locate the pipe's endpoint and can be used independently or with the glass-fibre rod.
Typical Applications:
  • Water Authorities: Detection of service pipes and main conduits.
  • Gas Suppliers: Detection of out-of-operation pipes.
  • Waste Water Networks: Routing of sewers, empty pipes, and drainage pipes.
Technical Data:
  • Glass-fibre Rod GFS: 100 m length, 6 mm diameter, mounted on a 55 cm reel.
  • Glass-fibre Rod GSK: 60 m length, 4.5 mm diameter, mounted on a 45 cm reel, suitable for narrow radii.
Accessories:
  • Mini Pig Transmitter "A": Waterproof, operates at 42 kHz, with a 10-hour operating time, detectable up to 5 m depth, compatible with FERROPHON® receivers.
  • Sluices: For inserting glass-fibre rods into pressurized pipes, suitable for narrow pipe radii.

Glass-fibre Probe System-1

_ o SEW ERIN Technologies for leak detection. Glass-fibre Probe System Because electrical current cannot flow through non-metallic pipes, additional equipment must be used to locate such pipes. Glass-fibre probes and mini pig transmitters are used for this purpose. The glass-fibre probe, containing a continuous length of copper, is inserted into the pipe section to be located, connected to the signal generator and traced using the FERROPHON®. With this method it is possible to follow the route of the pipe. To detect the end-point of the glass-fibre rod a mini pig transmitter can be screwed onto the probe tip. This small, battery-driven transmitter generates an electro-magnetic alternating field which can be located with a pipe locator. Even the depth of a non-metallic pipe can be determined. The mini pig transmitter may also be used without the glass-fibre rod. This opens various operating modes in combination with pipeline cleaning pigs, sewer inspection cameras, etc.! • At water authorities Detection of operating service pipes (with sluice) and main conducts • At gas suppliers Detection of pipes out of operation • In waste water networks Sewers’ routing, empty pipes, drainage pipes

Glass-fibre Probe System-2

Mini pig transmitter „A“, water-proof (16 bar) pig transmitter for the exact determination of the end-point of the glass-fibre rod, detectable up to approx. 5 m depth. Frequency „A“ resp. 42 kHz, approx. 10 h operating time. This mini pig transmitter can only be used in combination with the FERROPHON® system (receivers EL, ELH, AF 100). Can be screwed-on to all glass-fibre rods. Length approx. 110 mm, diameter 15 mm. Sluices for glass-fibre rod GFS (6 mm) or GSK (4.5 mm), to insert the glass-fibre rods into pipes under pressure (e. g. house service lines). Terminal part of spring screw-on, especially...
