5 things to know when laying the tracer wire

Do you know what the precautions for trace line laying are? Now let's follow the buried trace wire manufacturer to learn about it!
1. When burying the trace line, we should closely stick to the PE pipe in a straight line and be on the top of the pipe.
2. A certain length of wire (more than 1m is appropriate) shall be reserved for the trace line in the inspection well or out of the ground for the application of signals for exploration. This can improve the exploration power and accuracy.
3. The connector or branch point of the trace line must be firmly connected, and maintain excellent conductivity, and be wrapped with insulating tape to prevent corrosion and breakage caused by underground moisture, which will stop the exploration signal. The trace line at the steel plastic conversion joint of the pipeline can be welded on the flange, and the joint shall be subject to anti-corrosion treatment to prevent corrosion and wire breakage after a long time.

4. In order to increase the signal strength of the trace wire and make the signal spread evenly, the grounding resistance at the end of the buried trace wire must be reduced as much as possible during construction, and the outstanding grounding method of stripping the insulation layer to expose the core wire for 30 cm shall be adopted. Especially for the end of the branch pipe with short length, the grounding must be outstanding, otherwise the signal on the branch pipe will be very weak and cannot be detected.
5. In the trenchless engineering construction, the tracer wire outside the PE pipe is simply pulled off during the pipe dragging process. The simple way is to select a conductor or wire rope with larger sectional area and higher strength. Perhaps a tracer wire can be pre threaded inside the pipe to prevent the line from breaking. The exploration effect is the same as that outside, but the connection between the internal tracer wire head and the external tracer wire needs to be handled properly when doing so.
In addition, under some special circumstances, we can not apply the tracer wire to PE pipes. At this time, we can use the method of embedding the tracer ball to meet the needs of future exploration and positioning.
