p-CAT Quickly Tests Thousands Of Feet Of Pipe To Identify Hot Spots
Hydromax USA and Detection Services have come together to deliver p-CAT, a low-cost, non-invasive, non-destructive, reliable and safe solution for pipe condition assessment, while the system is in operation.
Often described as a pipe screening tool, p-CAT can quickly test thousands of feet of pipe to identify and assess small, localized “hot spots,” such as deterioration with various resolutions down to 30 feet and significant anomalies (air pockets, blockages, the sealing status of valves and unknown pipeline features). By locating the exact points of defects, repairs and replacements can be limited to only those sections in need of attention.
The technology uses a unique, patented and proven technique of inverse transient analysis to measure and determine the internal and external condition of pipelines.
Hydromax’s p-CAT is suitable for all pressurized pipes (metallic, concrete and asbestos cement) and all water pipes (potable, raw and wastewater).
