GU_GAS_TRACKER_V_1_00_US 3/18
Overview
The GasTracker™ is an instrument for tracing and identifying buried plastic gas pipes.
The method used is based on the propagation of a complex acoustic wave. Thanks to the
application-specific sensor and sophisticated signal analysis software, it is able to trace the
position and direction of a buried plastic pipe from the surface, even in noisy urban
environments.
The GasTracker™ is used on pipes operating at low pressure (21 mbar / 3 psi) or at medium
pressure (4 bars / 58 psi). Scientific tests have been validated by GDF at up to 7 bars / 101 psi,
and field tests have been made at a maximum of 11 bars / 160 psi. It can actually even be used in
‘open air’ (atmospheric pressure).
It was developed to provide an easier, more efficient means to locate pipes resulting in a savings
of time and money. Manufactured in France and validated almost one decade ago by the French
group GDF, it is now used on all continents. This unique signal injection method is internationally
patented.
Operating the GasTracker™ typically requires the temporary disconnection of a customer for the
duration of the research.
However, the system can be connected at any convenient point.
The GasTracker™ just needs to access the gas, to vibrate it.
