    VII. Ways of Pipe locating: 1.Applying signal Underground pipeline detector field source has two kinds: passive and active source. The passive mode is used to search for an unknown power cable or an underground pipe to which a cathodic protection signal is applied and a metal line that is capable of sensing a radio frequency in a zone.
  • Page 26 1.3 Radio frequency detection mode: It is mainly used to detect the metal pipeline that is sensitive to the radio frequency. 2.Active mode The active source operates by applying a signal of the specific frequency from the transmitter to the pipeline, and then positioning and tracking the pipeline with the receiver. Using the active mode can not only locate the pipelineaccurately, track the pipeline and measure the depth, but also detect the coating damage pointson the underground pipeline accurately and determine the size of the damage point of the coating.

  • Page 29 Illustration of Placing Transmitter Place the transmitter on the "positive" side of the target line,and in the same pipeline directionto get better sensing signals. Illustration of Placing Transmitter 1)Transmitter Frequency Selection High-frequency signals are most susceptible to other pipelines. Please use high-frequency in the inductive connection.
  • Page 30 the target pipeline and waste the battery power so the transmitter power selection should be appropriate. (3)Clamp connection The biggest difference between the clamp connection and the inductiveconnection is clamp connection uses an external clamp to apply the transmitter signal to the target line without the need for an inductive coil inside the transmitter.
  • Page 31 is wide but the positioning accuracy is lower than other methods. The double horizontal antennas peak mode has a steeper peak response than the single horizontal antenna wide-peak mode, the measurement position is relatively accurate but the signal strength is weaker. When the receiver is above the positioning pipeline, the signal strength reaches its peak.
  • Page 32 the pipeline and adjust the sensitivity so that the strength bar is between 60-80% of the entire range. Walk away from the transmitter, while moving the receiver to sides. When it shows that the middle is the peak with both sides diminishing, it means that the person who is locating is walking above the pipeline and he can make the long-distance tracking.
  • Page 33 When using the valley (Minimum) mode to detect the target pipeline, it should periodically switch to the peak mode in order to verify the exact location of the target pipeline. Using the peak mode for fixed positioning and marking, and then switch to the valley (minimum) mode, mark the location of the pipeline valley (minimum) value.
  • Page 34 Possible reasons: Pipeline is suddenly deepened. You can increase the sensitivity to continue the detecting. There may be a "T" -shaped branch, and the pipeline may also change direction. Check whether more than one tube carries the signal in the circle. If the pipeline is more than one, measure the response of each pipeline from the distance away from the intersection of 4-5 meters.

  • Page 38 2、Depth Measurement This multi frequency locator can measure the depth of the target pipeline. Most commonly used methods are direct reading, 80% and 45 degrees methods. (1) Direct reading method: to measure the depth of the range: 4.5cm-6m. When the range is exceeded or the signal is not normal, the receiver display shows an error message.Before depth detecting, the target pipeline should be accurately located by the receiver peak mode and the valley mode.
  • Page 39 when the target pipeline diameter is large. If there is any doubt about the depth measurement, the result can be verified by putting the receiver 0.5 m above the ground and measuring again. If the measured value is increased by 0.5 m, the depth measurement is correct. Depth measurement accuracy can reach up to 5% of pipeline depth if conditions permit, but operators do not know if bathymetric conditions are always appropriate.
  • Page 40 Illustration of 80% Depth Measurement (1)45 Degree Depth Measurement Illustration of 45 Degree Depth Measurement First of all, measure theaccurate location and direction of the target pipeline and switch the receiver mode of operation to valley mode, put the bottom of the receiver on the ground above the pipeline, adjust the receiver body to the ground at a 45-degree angle and move the receiver along the direction perpendicular to the pipeline.
  • Page 41 commonly used and it is relatively accurate especially in complicated pipe network. The 45 degree measurement needs to master the receiver body Angle with the ground. Direct reading depth method used in complex environments often comes with big deviation. It is more suitable for long-distance single buried pipeline depth measurement.
  • Page 42 Figure g: Tee and elbow at the current measurement diagram Principle of Current measurement: the transmitter applies a current signal to the target pipeline. As the distance from the transmitter increases, the current intensity will gradually reduce and the degree of attenuation depends on the pipeline type and soil.

    accuracy. If the measured value is suspicious, search the nearby areas and check the nearby lines for other radiated signals. Depth / current measurements should be taken to other points of the pipeline if other signals cause interference. VIII. Procedures of Detection 1.Material Preparation and On the Spot Research This underground pipeline detector can locate all buried metal pipes and cables in one area.
  • Page 44 is at right angles to the measured pipeline. When the receiver response increases, it means that there is a pipeline. Stop and position the pipeline accurately. Mark the location of the pipeline and trace the pipeline until it leaves the detected area. Then return to the area and continue network scanning.
  • Page 45 Illustration of Induction Search By means of induction search, you can detect the missed pipeline of the passive search and other pipelines that do not sense the 50Hz signal. Technique: Keep the distance between the receiver and the transmitter. In the inductive connection mode, the transmitter emits signals to the target pipeline and also sends signals into the air, which may cause interference in the detection work near the transmitter.

    street lights and fire hydrants, etc. on the ground. Then apply the transmitter signals on them and trace it from this position back. Position and Measure the depth of key points and feature points of various pipelines in the area, mark at each detection point, record relevant pipeline data and detection results, and then sort the data recorded and draw the pipeline map.
  • Page 47 the deviation. In general, the response of the receiver to the target pipeline should be greater than to the nearby pipeline. The target pipeline can be identified and tracked by the receiver's response. However, if the adjacent pipeline is closer to the surface, the receiver's response to the nearby pipeline may exceed the target pipeline.
  • Page 48 in pipeline detection, which may result in inaccurate position or depth measurement of the target pipeline or detection of an incorrect pipeline. In many cases, a certain degree of induction is unavoidable, but by using on-site inspection experience, some methods can be used to reduce the degree of induction, thus improving the reliability of detection.
  • Page 49 transmitter's ground is connected to another access point in the target pipeline through a long wire. This eliminates the need for grounding to form a complete circuit. The long pipeline should be far from the possible direction ofthe target pipeline. Illustration of Cable Detection of the Fence 5.Some Problems in Power Cable Detection Before applying the transmitter signal, it is necessary to disassemble the common...
  • Page 50 The cable is usually buried directly under the road outside the metal fence on the road, and the signal will be coupled to the metal fence. Because the metal fence is close to the antenna at the bottom of the receiver, tracking becomes difficult.
  • Page 51: X.anti Corrosion Coating Inspection

    If you want to locate the pipeline on or near the road, you can use a single-ended connection method to connect the transmitter to the valve, and connect the ground cable to the metal frame of the valve box. Make sure the connecting magnets are in good contact with the pipes.
  • Page 52 cable). When using the A-frame to detect along the pipeline, insert the A-frame every three or four steps. As you gradually approach the point of failure, the receiver signal will increase and the gain will need to be adjusted to reduce the sensitivity of the receiver. If the signal starts to increase, the detection speed should be slowed down, and each small segment of the ground should be carefully checked to prevent ignoring the point of failure.
  • Page 53 It can be seen from the above figure that when the A-frame approaches the fault point, the receiver's horizontal signal will gradually increase (the readings in the figure are only diagrams, indicating that the signal size changes with the detection position). When it is necessary to accurately locate the fault point, the accurate position of the fault point can be found when the A-frame is turned to be perpendicular to the cable.

    XI.Cable low resistance and broken line fault points This chapter is an auxiliary chapter, please choose to read as necessary. When the cable fault resistance is low, if the legal point of high-voltage impact discharge is adopted, the discharge sound at the fault point is weak, especially if there is no discharge sound in the fault of gold property dead earth, and the accurate fixed point of acoustic measurement method fails, audio induction method should be changed.
  • Page 55 2) Fixed-point method Due to the cable core along the cable twisting path forward, therefore, when on the point of failure front the cable path forward, signal amplitude has the rule changes, according to cable torque, when located above the failure point, generally will be the strongest signal amplitude, and continue to move forward from the point of failure, the signal is reduced to a stable and very small amplitude.
