The laying and connection protection method of the tracer wire

Source: Hengtong Electric Published: 2024-01-13 0 views

"Tracer wire" is used for the detection, tracking, and positioning of PE pipelines;

The tracer wire is laid together with the PE pipe; Generally, metal wire cores are used to apply signals to the "metal wire" through detection equipment, and the detection receiver receives the signal to find the accurate position of the tracer wire, that is, synchronously tracking the specific position of the PE; To facilitate the renovation and maintenance of PE pipelines.

Tracer wire structure

PE outer protective layer, insulation, anti-corrosion, waterproof, anti-aging

Copper layer enhances conductivity and enhances electrical signal

Steel core, enhancing the strength of the wire body

Double line connected structure, which can make two lines equally stressed and uniformly stressed

Advantages of tracer wire

Low resistance

High tensile strength

Strong corrosion resistance and aging resistance

Double line advantage

There is a dedicated protective connection at the connection point

Connection method

The tracer wire has a special protective connector for the connection between lines. The connector has a waterproof and anti-corrosion sealed chamber. The exposed wire ends of the tracer wire are placed in the sealed chamber, so as to protect the exposed missing wire ends from corrosion. The connector is made of PE material and has corrosion resistance and aging resistance.

The laying and detection of tracer wire

When laying the tracer wire, it must be placed together with the pipeline. Buried pipeline detection personnel must be trained and qualified before they can operate. During detection, connect one end of the pipeline detector transmitter to the missing line and the other end to the ground, roughly follow the direction of the pipeline, and use the pipeline detector to detect the position and depth of the pipeline.
