“Mini” Electro-Magnetic Pig Tracker
The small profile SPY® PT-101 Pipeline Inspection Company, Ltd. transmitter measures 1 inch (25.4mm) in diameter and 4 3/16 inches (106.4 mm) in length. Engineering at Pipeline Inspection Company states that the small profile of the SPY® PT 101 transmitter enables it to be used in smaller diameter pipes and also requires significantly less space inside various pig cavities. Like all SPY® Pig Tracking Systems, the new transmitter is used in conjunction with a receiver unit and a wand (SPY® PTR) to pinpoint the pig’s location in small diameter transmission, gathering lines, municipal gas, water and wastewater and process industries.
The SPY® Model PT 101 has a free air space pick-up range of 15 to 20 ft. with an underground depth range of 4 to 6 feet. This “mini” transmitter can be used in temperatures ranging from –20° F (28°C) to 180°F (82°C). A 3-volt lithium battery powers this new transmitter for up to 60 hours.
