The world’s first hand-held buried lead pipe detection tool
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network for Electro Scan Inc.
detection tool using an 18V battery with automatic system for
cable feed in pipe diamters from ½ to 3 inches (12mm - 76mm)
• SWORDFISH is based on Electro Scan’s patented machineintelligent technology, developed in accordance with the
American Water Works Association, Manual M77, Water Main
Condition Assessment, to measure electric resistance using
low-voltage conductivity to locate buried lead pipes.
• SWORDFISH’s design enables users to grip the device with
one hand and have the other hand free to guide the Electro
Scan probe and cable in and out of the companion service
line pipe insertion device.
• SWORDFISH’s cable feed system maintains a selected
feed speed with its rotating action allowing users to navigate
multiple 90o
pipe bends up to 100 ft pipe lengths.
• SWORDFISH’s fully enclosed drum eliminates free spinning
parts, providing users with more protection to work in and
around basement meters, bends and other obstructions.
• SWORDFISH readings are captured in real-time with data
transmitted and processed in Electro Scan’s Critical H2O
cloud application, with results independently verified using a
3M Lead Test Kit for 100% verification of lead pipe.
