Acoustic tubes
When the connection and detection of acoustic tubes are carried out in mountainous areas, due to the complex terrain and inconvenient transportation, some special measures need to be taken to ensure the connection quality and detection efficiency of acoustic tubes. Here are some caveats for acoustic tube connection and inspection in mountainous areas.
One-to-one service for acoustic tube installation.
Selection of acoustic tubes: In mountainous areas, acoustic tubes with high pressure resistance, high tensile strength, strong adaptability, and easy transportation and installation should be selected. For example, steel bellows or steel pipes, these materials have strong compressive resistance and good sealing properties.
Selection of connection mode: The connection of the acoustic tube in the mountainous area should be welded or threaded. Welded connections can provide higher strength and tightness, but require certain welding conditions and techniques on site. Threaded connections are more convenient, but the quality and sealing of the threads need to be ensured.
Arrangement of acoustic tubes: During construction in mountainous areas, the arrangement of acoustic tubes should take into account the influence of topography and landform, and try to choose stable geological conditions for layout, so as to avoid setting acoustic tubes in loose soil layers or areas prone to geological disasters.
Fixing and protection: When the acoustic tube is constructed in mountainous areas, reliable fixing measures should be taken, such as using steel cages, steel cables, etc., to fix it on the pile foundation to prevent displacement or damage during the construction process.
Preparation of testing equipment: The detection of acoustic tubes requires professional acoustic testing instruments, including transmitters, receivers, cables, etc. Before construction in mountainous areas, it should be ensured that all testing equipment is complete and in good condition.
On-site testing operation: The detection of the acoustic tube should be operated by professionals and carried out in strict accordance with the testing specifications. During the inspection process, attention should be paid to safety to avoid equipment damage or personal injury caused by improper operation.
Data recording and analysis: During the detection process of the acoustic tube, the detection data should be recorded in detail, including the sound wave propagation time, amplitude, etc. After the test is completed, the data should be analyzed to judge the quality and integrity of the pile foundation.
