The MPlus+ XL mini-mainline push system, part of the MPlus+ line from CUES, can inspect 4- to 12-inch-diameter pipe.
“It’s a family of products now,” says George Milkowski, design engineer for CUES. “So not only do operators have the ability to inspect laterals with the standard configuration MPlus+, but because of its modularity you’re able to add an XL coiler system and use the control unit to inspect larger pipelines or mainlines.”
The XL inspection system features a 360-degree pan-and-tilt camera, swappable camera heads, video observation coding, asset management software interface and digital recording. The XL coiler delivers up to 500 feet of 0.516-inch fiberglass push cable.
“The best feature is the modular design that allows a user to configure the system to the exact application required,” he says.
The inspection system has a built-in digital video recorder with data stored on an SD card.
“One of the ways the MPlus+ line differentiates itself from other systems on the market is it not only can operate as a standalone system, but it’s completely compatible with our GraniteNet asset management software system,” Milkowski says. “You’re able to integrate it to CUES mainline TV inspection trucks.”
Standard features on the 65-pound push system include an 8.4-inch display mounted in a weather-resistant control unit with quick-connect mount for attaching to the coiler and internal lithium-ion battery with Intellicharge technology for four hours of continuous use on a single charge. The system also accepts AC and 12-volt DC power input.
Options include locator/receiver for camera location in metallic and nonmetallic pipes, line tracing post for use with optional line transmitters, and a large selection of skids and skates. 800/327-7791; www.cuesinc.com.
