Detectable Tape

Home /// Products /// Detectable Tape

/// While reliable active locating of non-metallic tubes and pipes with the help of galvanic or inductive methods does not cause problems anymore with perfected products (such as KEKOPLAST® detectable tapes No. 06 and No. 04), the myriametric wave method still has its limitations. Especially the locating lengths of location equipment leave a lot to desired with most civil engineering companies. Usual detectable tapes hitherto are not suitable for myriametric wave methods because they are poorly equipped with bad conducted location wires. They can only be located with difficulties or depending on their position and the composition of the ground, not at all when conventional detecting equipment is used. The result is that the course of non-metallic lines can sometimes only be guessed or will remain completely undetected. Possible consequences according to civil works or important repair works are self-evident. 

What makes our KEKOPLAST® detectable tape special

/// These problems are now a thing of the past because of the cooperation with the FH Hannover and KEKOPLAST company who has been developed the KEKOPLAST® detectable tape No. 06 with copper wires. These tapes can be applied for all established detection measuring methods because of one or two isolated copper wires for active locating and to proof if the connection is inactive for the whole installed pipe as well as one blank copper wire for myriametric wave methods. The perforation above the blank copper wire assures optimal earth contact whereas the tape has otherwise a full transparent lamination.

/// The clear superior conductivity of copper (approximately 10 times) causes sensational locating results according to myriametric waves even over extreme short and long measuring distances. KEKOPLAST® detectable tapes No. 06 Cu achieve ex-cellent results even under difficult conditions such as poor wave accessibility because of geographical reasons, unfavourable line direction for location purposes, location tapes much deeper than 60 cm below the surface, unfavourable ground conditions, short lines of less than 20 m as well as nearby metal lines or pipes.
