Under what circumstances does the underground tracer wire appear?

Source: Hengtong Electric Published: 2023-01-06 0 views
With the further popularization of PE pipes in the natural gas and water supply industries, PE pipes gradually replace steel pipes and cast iron pipes in the gas medium/low pressure pipe network; As PE pipe is non-conductive and non magnetic, it is impossible to track PE pipe, which will bring inconvenience to pipeline maintenance in the future, so buried trace lines also appear. At present, the commonly used "tracer wire" in the market include copper clad steel tracer wire, thin film steel wire pressing tracer wire, and wire tracer wire.
Product specification: single share, double share (2 square meters, 2.5 square meters, 4 square meters, 6 square meters)
Product material:
1. PE outer layer, copper clad steel alloy wire;
2. Copper: copper plating;
3. Steel: high strength low carbon steel;
Direct-Burial Tracer Wire
4. PE: PE material is used as anti-corrosion protective layer.
PE outer protective layer, insulation, anti-corrosion and waterproof
Copper layer, enhancing conductivity and improving electrical signal
Steel core to enhance wire body strength
The development of trace lines has gone through three generations:
1. The first generation tracer wire: It is composed of aluminum foil and plastic film parent. The aluminum foil is mainly used to transmit signals, and the parent is fixed aluminum foil. Disadvantages of this trace line: the aluminum foil has very low strength, which is easy to break even during production and transportation, and the auxiliary equipment is easy to damage. At the same time, the resistance of aluminum foil is very large, and the effective detection distance and depth are limited.
2. The second generation of trace line: it is pressed by steel wire and plastic film. The trace line is made of steel wire as conductor, with large resistance and limited detection distance, which is difficult to meet the actual needs.
3. The third generation tracer wire: It is composed of copper clad steel wire core and PE outer protective layer, and its appearance is linear.
The role of trace lines
"Tracer wire" is used for the detection, tracking and positioning of PE pipes;
"Tracer wire" shall be laid together with PE pipe; Generally, metal wire cores are used to apply signals to the "metal wire" through the detection equipment, and the detection receiver receives the signals to find the exact position of the trace line, that is, to synchronously track the specific position of the PE gas pipeline; In order to facilitate the transformation and maintenance of PE pipes.
