Glass fibre probe system
— Precise detection of non-metallic cables
Precise location of non-metallic pipes in gas, water and wastewater networks
SEWERIN's fiber optic probe systems enable the precise location of non-metallic pipes - even under demanding conditions. The copper strand integrated into the fiber optic rod allows the exact route of the pipe to be determined using the UT 9200/9100/930 and UtiliTrac locating systems. Supplemented by different locating transmitters, the end points of the fiber optic probes can be detected with pinpoint accuracy at depths of up to 18 m. Whether locating gas, water or wastewater pipes - the fiber optic probe systems deliver reliable results and ensure maximum safety in network operation.
Product description
Precision and flexibility for locating underground cables
- Reliable location of non-metallic cables thanks to conductive fiber optic rod with integrated copper strand
- High-precision end point determination with different locating transmitters (up to approx. 18 m depth)
- Two versions for different requirements:
- GFS: 100 m length, 6 mm diameter
- GSK: 60 m length, 4.5 mm diameter - ideal for small cable radii - Robust reel construction (Ø 55 cm or 45 cm) for convenient handling in the field
- Optional sluices for use in pressurized water service lines
- Compatible with the UT 9200/9100/930 and UtiliTrac locating systems for maximum system versatility
Versatile applications for utility companies and tracking service providers
The fiber optic probe systems are used wherever non-metallic pipes need to be located. In the water supply sector, they can also be used to locate house connection pipes that are in operation via a sluice. In the gas supply sector, they are ideal for locating disused pipes. In the wastewater network, they help to reliably determine the course of sewers, empty pipes or drainage pipes. In this way, they support utility companies, network operators and specialized locating service providers in the precise documentation of pipeline networks, avoid incorrect excavations and improve the efficiency of maintenance.
