Insertion
The device is inserted into the pipeline using an insertion system and a 4” or greater pressure valve. This system is used to assure that insertion is done correctly. The system consists of a number of elements designed to place the device inside the pipeline and to assure that its navigation is controlled.
Synchronization and Pass Detectors
The synchronizers and pass detectors are placed along the pipeline at accessible points like valves, etc. The synchronizers support the positioning of leaks, gas pockets and anomalies. The pass detectors provide confirmation of the location of the device during testing.
Extraction
The device is captured and extracted at the end of the pipeline with a net, which is also inserted into the pipeline through an existing air valve or tap. The extraction system is extendable and consists of interchangeable elements adapted to the diameter of the pipeline at the point of extraction. This system is equipped with a camera and an alert system indicating the arrival of the device.
