ULTRA-TRAC® APL finds unmarked underground pipe fast and accurately!
ACOUSTIC PIPE LOCATOR
ULTRA-TRAC® APL is the perfect choice when it is necessary to accurately locate unmarked, underground piping systems. Natural gas, water and sewer laterals are easily traced using state-of-the-art acoustic technology. The APL will significantly reduce the number of unlocatable and identify potential cross bore risk locations when using HDD technologies
Perfect for locating plastic pipe!
ULTRA-TRAC® APL locates the voids in the ground created by a pipe through the science of impedance mismatch. The instrument sends a series of “pings” and then monitors the acoustic wave pattern, timing and frequency of the return signature. This process is referred to as a “Slice”.
The operator will repeat the ‘slice’ recording process a minimum of three times, across a preset distance. This is a “Scan” The APL will determine if a void is present. A locate comprises of several scans.
