    RSP 3 pipe pecker from SebaKMT.

    The detection and localization of non-metallic drinking water pipes, e.g. asbestos cement, PE and PVC, the acoustic sound pulse technique is employed. A knocking generator transmits vibrations along the pipe.
    Depending on type of material, diameter and type of soil, the sound pulses propagate along the pipe and can be detected on the surface by means of a geophone. In this manner the route of the pipe can precisely be located.

    Features:
    Location of non-metallic pipes
    Useable for different pipe diameters
    Independent of electrical interference
    Variable hammer-frequencies for optimal results
     
    Choice of instruments
    The HL 7000 leak detectors with one of the following microphones PAM CORR or PAM W-7 are particularly well suited for picking up the structure-borne sound. When scanning a meadow or loose soil by usage of a soil plug-in thorn it may substantially improve listening results  - see attached pictures.
     
    Coupling
    The pulse generator is connected to the pipe to be traced by means of a tight chain. On plastic pipes a resilient disk may be used to prevent wear caused by this mode of excitation. The pulse rate will drop off as soon as the battery runs low, which is also an indication of the residual charge.
