Simply put, acoustic pipe inspection, or API, uses sound to locate and characterize pipe based on the sound of flowing water. And it’s quickly becoming a buzzword thanks to its potential cost savings.The process
All API processes involve sound and a pipe, which is often where similarities end. API can be active or passive, internal or external, use automated and remote data collection or the inspection can be continuously monitored in real time. It can locate leaks and quantify the scale of a leak at first reading. Some API processes require full-bore flowing liquid while others require less-than-full bore gravity flow. Some
Acoustic Alternative for Cost-Effective Pipe Inspections
Potential time and cost savings of acoustic pipe inspection make this technology a worthwhile investment to consider.
