What to Consider When Installing Tracer Wire

2, Precautions for trace line laying

1. The trace line shall be laid in a straight line close to the PE pipe and on the top of the pipe. Do not wrap the PE pipe in a spiral shape for burial, which may lead to inaccurate detection results.

2. A certain length of wire (more than 1m is appropriate) shall be reserved for the trace wire in the inspection well or out of the ground for signal detection. This can improve the detection efficiency and accuracy.

3. The connector or branch point of the tracer wire must be firmly connected to maintain good conductivity, and be wrapped with insulating tape to prevent corrosion and breakage caused by underground moisture, which may interrupt the detection 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 tracer wire and make the signal distributed evenly, the grounding resistance at the buried end of the tracer wire must be reduced as much as possible during construction, and good grounding measures shall be taken to strip the insulation layer and bare core wire for 30 cm. Especially for the end of the branch pipe with short length, it must be well grounded, otherwise the signal on the branch pipe will be very weak and cannot be detected.
