LOGSTOR Detect
Overview
Introduction Preinsulated pipe systems can be monitored for faults which are due to e.g. excavation, weld-
ing, installation and the like. This ensures a good check of the pipe systems during installation
as well as operation.
Application The LOGSTOR Detect concept for preinsulated pipes makes constant surveillance of the pipe
network possible by means of the 2 embedded alarm wires.
Consequently, damages on the outer casing or moisture from service pipe or casing joints will
be detected in due time, before corrosion damages on the service pipe or severe moisture
damages to the insulation appear.
There are three phases in the service life of a pipe network where the advantages of the
LOGSTOR Detect concept are obvious.

In any case an early detection results in less
inconveniences and much fewer costs.

period makes it possible to detect and repair dam-
ages which arise suddenly, e.g. excavation
damages, and to maintain the pipe network
systematically, so the operating costs are
minimal throughout the entire service life of
the system.
The entire pipe network can only be main-
tained systematically in one way:
To be able to “see” under ground by means
of an integrated surveillance system.
Introduction This section contains general and specific information on surveillance diagrams and their sym-
bols.
Making diagrams It is vital that the surveillance diagram is finish before pipes are installed so the wire position
can be correct. Requirement in EN 14419.
It is also vital that all changes of the pipe run are noted so a correct “as built”-diagram can be
made.
Correspondence between diagram and pipe drawing is a condition of correct location of a
possible malfunction.
LOGSTOR offers its assistance with the preparation of diagrams for surveillance systems.
Symbols LOGSTOR has prepared a set of symbols for design of surveillance systems which show
where to use the specific components, but also the electric length of each connected cable
for connection of detectors, check points or jumper cables in the system.
The tinned wire in the pipes is marked on the surveillance diagram with a full-drawn line.
In open systems, using only single-wire detection the tinned wire is the alarm wire.
The copper wire in the pipes is marked in the surveillance diagram with a broken line.
In loop systems it is part of the surveillance circuit.
It is also used when the signal is transmitted back and forth in the same pipe, e.g. in branch-
es.

General wiring In systems with resistance measuring the alarm wires are connected in a loop (A).
in connection In systems with impedance measuring the wires may be connected in a loop (A) or open (B)
with resistance dependent on the actual wire length.
and impedance In practice this means that the wire closest to the branch is connected to the branch. So there
measuring can be branches on the wire from the detector as well as the wire returning to the detector.
Special wiring In systems with impedance measuring and alarm wires up to max. 5000 m the wires can be
in connection connected so in principle the tinned wire is always the only one to measure (“open” system).
with impedance So all branches are connected to the same wire. The copper wire is primarily used as an aux-
measuring iliary wire and always in branches with loops. See diagram page 23.2.3.2 “Standard wiring.
L = max. 5000 m One channel per pipe”.
( )
Straight joints When the tinned wire and the copper wire
have been connected, install each wire in 3
wire holders to ensure correct distance to the
pipe.
Fasten the wire holders with a similar number
of strips of crepe tape with a good overlap.
Earth connection/ Where the wiring for some reason exits the pipe system, earth connections are welded on to
cable take-off the steel pipe, so the measuring references to the steel pipe are correct.
and outlet
From the surveillance drawing it shows where to weld the earth connection on to the steel
pipe.
Preferably weld the earth connection on at the same time as the pipes are welded together.
Installation cables:
- In connection with a casing joint, where
cable take-off is used, place the earth con-
nection in the middle (A)
- In connection with an end cap, where cable A B
outlet is used, place the earth connection
directly at the foam end (B)
Coaxial cables:
- In connection with a casing joint, where
twin coaxial cables are used place the spe- 70
cial earth connection in the middle (C)
