Description: Acoustic Pipeline Inspection (API)
Acoustic Pipeline Inspection (API)
API technologies use sound waves to collect pipeline condition data. There is a broad range of product designs that fall in this category. API provides a relatively low-cost solution to estimate blockage conditions and/or find gross structural defects in gravity flow pipelines with no flow contact. The technology quickly evaluates the sewer line and assists in prioritizing cleaning and CCTV operations.
