FAST PWG II Pulse Wave Generator for Acoustic Pipe Locating
The FAST PWG II Pulse Wave Generator is designed to help locate buried pipelines under difficult conditions using an acoustic pulse that travels along the pipe. Connected to a hydrant or suitable in-house installation, the PWG II provides an effective method for tracing pipe routes when conventional locating techniques may be difficult or impractical.
The generated pulse can be detected from the surface using FAST Aqua M series listening equipment and a ground microphone, allowing operators to follow the route of plastic, metal, and other types of pipelines. With simple connection and the ability to trace substantial pipe sections, the PWG II is a practical addition to professional water utility and pipe locating operations.
Key Features
- Generates an acoustic pulse that travels along the pipeline, allowing its route to be detected from the surface with compatible listening equipment
- Suitable for locating plastic, metal, and other types of pipelines under difficult locating conditions
- Allows pipe sections of up to 600 metres to be detected under suitable operating conditions
- Operates with a minimum system pressure of 2 bar for use on compatible pressurized water systems
- Attaches to a hydrant or suitable in-house installation for convenient access to the pipeline
- Uses a GEKA quick-coupling system for simple and efficient installation in the field
- Works with FAST Aqua M series listening devices and a ground microphone to detect the acoustic pulse travelling along the pipe
Ideal For
Water utilities, municipalities, utility locating professionals, and contractors needing an acoustic solution for tracing buried plastic, metal, and other pipelines, particularly where conventional locating methods are challenging.
