Fast PipeMic

Leak detection for plastic pipes

The FAST PipeMic system directly addresses critical limitations in traditional leak detection, especially concerning plastic water pipes and inaccurately mapped infrastructure. Unlike conventional methods that struggle with the poor acoustic propagation of leak-borne noise in plastic, the PipeMic offers a superior solution.

Its core innovation lies in its in-pipe acoustic sensor, which is inserted directly into pressurised water mains and service lines. This allows for direct detection of leak acoustics from within the pipe, bypassing the challenges of external noise attenuation in plastic materials.

TThe PipeMic’s ability to accurately pinpoint leak locations from inside the pipe significantly reduces the guesswork associated with vague pipe routing information.

Fast PipeMic Leak Detector Features

Pipe Searching/Leak Locating

  • locating leakages with utmost precision
  • locating pipes including endpoint
  • no interference of ambient noise
  • data transfer via Bluetooth

Range of Use

Home connections are usually made of plastic water pipes. The plastic water pipes reveal the leakage borne noise inadequately. This constitutes a problem for customary correlation procedures. In addition, the exact run of a pipe is often known only vaguely, which frequently leads to misdiggings.

With the acoustic pig developed by F.A.S.T., cracks on home connections/pipes can be located easily due to a special lock which allows the probe to be pushed into the pipe with high pressure (up to 16 bar). As the length and the exact position of the inserted glass fibre can be determined, the leakage spot can be determined with utmost precision.

The acoustic signals are transferred to the headphones and to the geophone respectively via bluetooth. The noise level received is then accoustically and optically displayed on any Aqua-M series (70-300) geophone.

  • indication of applied rod length
  • quick measurement results
  • easy to operate
  • data transfer to geophone/headphones via Bluetooth
  • integrated disinfectant tank
