METRONOME GENERATOR
The Metronome generator creates special acoustic signals in the water or on the pipe walls. These signals are detected on the surface by any ground microphone. The point with the maximum acoustic signal level will be the axis of the pipe.
The distance range from the generator to the point of confident signal location on the surface depends on external conditions, such as pipeline material, soil type, laying depth, etc., and is in the range of 100-200 meters.
- For pipeline location made of any materials - plastic, concrete, steel, cast iron, etc.
- Localization of hidden connections and house connections
- Measuring the sound velocity in a pipeline for correlation leak search
Reliable work in a saturated urban network
The Metronome Generator works with pipes made of any materials that can be found in a modern city. Forget about the problems of locating someone else's network. Unlike the classic electromagnetic method, the acoustic signal propagates precisely through your pipe and is not redirected to neighboring pipes, such as gas or electrical cables.
WHAT DOES IT CONSIS OF?
The system consists of a portable generator-control unit and heads that are connected to the pipe. The choice of head depends on the tasks you set for the device.
The water head connects to the pipe through a threaded connection. It sends signals into the water and is used to reliably locate pipes made of plastic, concrete and metal over long distances.
The impact head is quickly mounted on the pipe surface using special fasteners or a magnet. It reliably locates metal pipes at short and medium distances.
The vibro head is quickly attached to the pipe wall using a magnet. It is used for measuring the speed of sound with a correlator and for other special tasks.
GROUND MICROPHONE
It is used together with the Metronome acoustic generator to find its signals on the surface and locate the location of the pipeline.
Any ground microphone system can be used to work with the generator. We recommend and offer our partners ground microphones of the SebaKMT brand. These systems have been on the market for a long time and are characterized by high sensitivity, quality and reliability.
