INTRODUCING THEPortaPIPETM

Ultrasonic Pipework Integrity Test Indicator

TYPE: Portable ultrasonic pipework integrity testerFUNCTION: To detect faults, leaks to 1mm and thinning in pipework, suitable for 22mm diameter pipe, up to 12m range. Applications include fault testing for wet & dry sprinkler systems for meeting BS EN 12845 standards for system maintenance. PART NUMBER: 3174740-PP

World-Class Accuracy

It is a simple solution with few limitations and is easy to learn how to operate. Testing can be completed by just one person. Giving a thorough corrosion evaluation over a short period of time

1. Quick & Convenient

2.

THREE CORE BENEFITS

The most mathematically accurate unit of its type locating a 1mm leak site via visual and audible readings and identifying its extent with a definitive numerical result. Can test for faults and leaks in 10-50mm diameter pipe, 1mm up to 12m range and 1mm+ at longer range.

SUITABLE FOR inspection of pipes diameter of 10-50mm, through the use of a wide range of sizes of removable sealing plugs with custom alterations.

PORTABLE and lightweight, allowing equipment to be transported, carried and operated with ease

MAGNETIC BASE with it's strong magnetic base, the generator can be fitted onto the pipe or surrounding surfaces,, making the system convenient and easy to use.

3 TYPES OF READINGS with a headphone port for audio reading and a digital display that can display both linear and decibel readings for visual readings

EFFECTIVE TRAINING with us thanks to our DVD & Online Training Videos, helpful for non-native English speakers too

AUDIO INDICATION: using of a unique audio tone allows the user to distinguish whether reading is the ultrasound signal or background noise being received.

ULTRASONIC GENERATOR has a long range of 12m+

4 DIFFERENT SENSITIVITY SETTINGS- in order to allow for more precision in finding results.

3.ComprehensiveAnalysis

Evaluation of multiple different areas along the pipe are possible with ultrasonic inspection. This increases the reliability in the pipeline analysis, thereby giving a better picture of problems areas in the system.

HOW IT WORKSThe PortapipeTM has two main components:a generator and receiver with two wands.

ADVANTAGES LOW COST: multiple readings can be made using one device at no extra cost, making it a great value for money product.

SIMPLE: highly intuitive operation, enabling regular testing.NO TRAINING COSTS: free-of-charge online, telephone and email training support-through-life.

COST EFFECTIVE: the most mathematically accurate watertight integrity test indicator with dual decibel & linear display.

GREATER TESTING AVERAGE: The ability to test multiple locations throughout the pipes length provides a more reliable thorough view of the integrity of the system. INSTANT RESULTS: user receives instant feedback regarding the focused area.

FOCUS AT PROBLEM AREAS: the user can target suspected areas in more detail

NON DESTRUCTIVE the testing method causes no damage to the existing system.

REPETITIVE TESTING: the system allows repetitive testing on problem areas, thereby giving the most accurate information to the user.

GREEN TECHNOLOGY a clean method of testing that does not violate any environmental codes.

ACCURATE an identify leaks as small as 1mm.

ANY APPLICATION the PortapipeTM can be used for application involving a pipeline

ANY MATERIAL the PortapipeTM is suitable for use on any material pipe line.

Demonstration of basic pipe inspection

The generator is attached to the detection rod, the rod is then sealed into the opening of a drained pipe system using the sealing plug. The ultrasonic generator is then switched on and emits a specific frequency of ultrasound (40,000 Hz). The operator then uses the receiver at multiple locals along the pipe's length in order to indicate the integrity of the pipe's structure. Results: A higher reading will be seen at a leak or weak area.

The generator is an ultrasonic generator with one transducer via a sealing wand. This will produce a strong signal in one direction i.e. directly from the transducer which fills the pipe being tested with ultrasound pulses e.g. providing sufficient coverage to fill the pipe. The generator is semi-fixed with a powerful magnet which allows it to be attached to the structure where required. A magnet cover is provided when the magnet is not in use.

The receiver uses ultrasonic technology to convert the 40KHz pulses sent by the generator into three easily comprehensible readings: audible, bar graph and numerical which enables the operator to understand if the pipe is wholly watertight or to what extent a leak exists.
