Combiphon Plastic Pipe Locator
Locating plastic pipes acoustically
As plastic pipes are not electrically conductive, they cannot be located by classic electro-magnetic methods, using standard Pipe & Cable Locators. The Combiphon uses another principle in pipe location; the acoustic method. Pipes transmit mechanical vibrations better than the surrounding soil and so these vibrations are transmitted along the pipe and through the soil to the surface where they can be detected by a ground microphone such as the Aquaphon A-50, Aquaphon A-100 or Aquaphon A-200.
Key Benefits
- Quick & Easy to Set Up
- Simple to Use
- Reduces Excavation Costs
- Works on All non-metallic pipes
Kits
Knocker Stopper
Service Pipes
(Water or Gas)
Smaller diameter pipes are set vibrating by the
knocker. It taps from the
outside onto the pipe wall and generates a vibration that can be easily
detected.
-
Chain fastening for diameters up to 100 mm
-
Weight: 1.8 kg.
Main Pipes -
Water
Larger pipes require more energy to set up vibration. The
water column is set into motion by abstraction of water from a hydrant. The
water column is restricted at intervals by an internal solenoid plunger; the
stopper. The created pressure
waves are transmitted in the water column and can be located, even over long
distances.
The Combiphon comprises 3 main items:
- G5 Generator w/ Optional Wireless Remote
- Stopper Water Main Inducer
- Knocker Water & Gas Service Pipe Inducer
