Title:
METAL TOUCH PORTION DETECTING METHOD FOR BURIED METAL TUBE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2005134159
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a method for locating a metal touch portion when a buried metal tube is in metal-touch with another metal tube buried in parallel therewith.

This method is for detecting the metal touch portion of the buried metal tube with an anticorrosive coating with the other metal tube close-buried in parallel therewith. AC signals of different frequencies are applied to the buried metal tube and to the ground from both the sides of an objective zone of detection. The intensity of a magnetic field is measured by moving magnetometric sensors disposed on a ground surface to each of measurement points placed at prescribed intervals in the extension direction of the buried metal tube while scanning in the orthogonal direction. By signal-processing obtained data, changes in the intensity of the magnetic field are compared with each other at respective measurement points corresponding to the signals of different frequencies, thereby determining whether there is a metal touch portion, and its location.
