Vivax vLoc3-DM | Pipeline Defect Mapper | Coating Integrity & ACVG Survey Tool

The Vivax vLoc3-DM represents the next generation of pipeline integrity and coating defect analysis technology. Designed specifically for professional transmission and distribution surveys, the vLoc3-DM provides unmatched precision in evaluating pipeline coatings. By integrating sophisticated real-time graphing on a full-color display, the system converts complex raw data into actionable insights for on-site decision-making.

How does the vLoc3-DM identify pipeline coating defects?

The system utilizes the high-output 150-watt Loc-150Tx DM Transmitter to apply specific locating signals at low frequencies of 3Hz and 4Hz for detailed current mapping. When integrated with a plug-in A-frame, it conducts comprehensive ACVG surveys to pinpoint and evaluate the severity of coating defects with precision.

What locating modes are available for complex pipeline environments?

Operators can choose between Vector Locate, Transverse Graph, and Plan View screens to gain a multi-dimensional understanding of pipeline orientation and signal distortion. The device uses two sets of 3D antennas to adeptly identify electromagnetic interference, providing clear visual warnings to ensure survey accuracy.

How does data logging and mapping enhance integrity surveys?

The vLoc3-DM features internal Bluetooth and GPS for seamless data logging and transfer, allowing for the precise spatial mapping of identified defects. The Walk-Back feature provides the operator with real-time navigation tools to return to specific areas of interest for more intensive evaluation.
