AET Complements RFTC
AET singles out those pipes that are currently experiencing active distress.
This test measures the frequency and number of distress-related acoustic events that occur along the monitored pipe section over a defined period of time.
A Remote Field Transformer Coupling (RFTC) inspection establishes the location,
distribution and number of wire breaks at a specific point in time. This test establishes the baseline condition of your pipeline at the time of the inspection.
Combining the baseline wire break information from RFTC with the active deterioration information from AET allows utilities to make informed decisions as to repair, replace or monitor individual pipes in their line.
Armed with this knowledge, water supply system managers can develop a risk management strategy that both controls costs and can extend the safe economic life of their pipeline.
