Asbestos Cement Pipe

Impulse Response tests were conducted on a new pipe section, deteriorated
pipe section and a long section of the sewer line. The test procedure
involved impacting the pipe surface with an instrumented hammer near
the velocity sensor. The "mobility" was determined using the ratio
response of the velocity sensor and the hammer obtained from the Fast
Fourier Transform (FFT) analyzer. Test results from the deteriorated
and the new pipe section were used to compare the results from the
sewer line to determine its overall condition. Tests on the sewer
line were conducted at the high, transition and low points to note
the differences, if any.
