InfoSense (USA) established in 2007, InfoSense, Inc. is the manufacturer of the Sewer Line Rapid Assessment Tool, or SL-RAT®, an award-winning acoustic inspection technology used to screen for blockages in small diameter gravity sewers.
Over 230 utilities around the world are already using our award-winning acoustic technology to screen 6”-18” gravity-fed sewers for blockages.
Applications: Check for blockages in pipes..
Features of SL-RAT®:
-The SL-RAT device is equipped with a GPS, which allows the TX unit and RX unit to communicate via radio frequency. This gives the device system the ability to classify data, register data (by location) and verify data.
- Unlike traditional CCTV inspection systems (in-pipe), SL-RAT is located in manholes, where the transmitter - TX unit - sends an acoustic pulse into the pipeline. The receiver - RX unit- carries a microphone and signal processing system that captures the audio signal and automatically interprets the congestion data. Then automatically generates a blockage rating, scoring it on a scale of 0 to 10, with a score of 10 indicating a clear pipeline and a score of 0 indicating a complete blockage.
- Fast test equipment, only takes 3 minutes for a pipe segment.
- Can test from 3000m to 6000m pipeline in one day.
- Low cost, only 1/10 to 1/20 compared to visual inspection technology (CCTV).
