What is the operational procedure of mapping?
• The correct wheel set is selected to fit the pipe ID • The PipeTrack Pipeline Mapping System is switched into logging mode • The system is connected to the pulling cord (safety cord is connected to the rear of the system) • The system is placed into the pipe’s entry point and the rear is aligned with the beginning of the pipe (see picture above) • A 30-second ‘stable period’ is observed • The system is pulled through the pipe to the end point until the front reaches the end of the pipe (see picture above) • A 30-second ‘stable period’ is observed • The system is taken out of the pipe and the data is either uploaded to a PC or the system is turned around for a return run (back to step 3) How long does the mapping typically take? If the correct preparations were made, typical mapping takes around one hour, assuming 4 measurements of runs up to 1000ft. Longer runs may take up to two hours. How long does the data processing take? Per run, the processing takes about 15 minutes. What is th
