Model 2512 Ethernet - Mini Pipe Profiling Sonar for Liquid-Filled Pipe Inspection
The Model 2512 Pipe Profiling Sonar provides an efficient acoustic solution for profiling the interiors of liquid-filled pipes or boreholes without the need to drain them, unlike traditional camera surveys. The system includes an underwater Scanning Unit, which may be mounted in various configurations such as skid, float, tractor, or ROV, and a compact Ethernet Interface Unit. This setup requires a Windows PC with an Ethernet port to operate the 2512E system software. The Scanning Unit is robustly constructed with a stainless steel body and a pressure-balanced Peek transducer housing, capable of operating at depths up to 100 meters. For portability, it can be powered by two lead-acid batteries along with a notebook PC. The system features internal Pitch and Roll sensors to display its orientation in the pipe. The Ethernet Interface Unit connects to the host PC, supporting cable payout encoders for precise distance measurement. It operates on AC power, providing electrical isolation from the underwater system. Capable of real-time 360-degree scanning, it offers quick, high-resolution image capture and seamless integration with third-party 3D modeling software.
