Does the pipe inspection system have a meter counter to track cable distance?

Q: Does the pipe inspection system have a meter counter to track cable distance?

A: Yes. Our pipe inspection cable reels are equipped with a digital meter counter designed specifically for pipeline and drain surveys. As you push the fiberglass rod through the pipe, the meter counter records the exact length of cable deployed – giving you a real‑time distance reading from the entry point to the camera head.

This feature is essential for pinpointing the location of blockages, cracks, joint separations, or root intrusions. For example, if a blockage is found at 23.5 meters, you can immediately note that distance, and a repair crew can later excavate or access the pipe at that exact point – no guesswork, no unnecessary digging.

How it works:
The meter counter is integrated into the cable reel. As the push rod moves in or out, a precision sensor measures the travel distance and displays it directly on the monitor (with the live video). The error margin is less than 1% , even for long runs up to 60 meters or more.

Why it matters for pipe inspections:

Fast defect location – no need to re‑inspect the entire line.

Accurate reporting – include exact distances in your client reports.

Cost‑effective repairs – target only the damaged section.

Works with standard push rods – our 7mm fiberglass cables are fully compatible.

Whether you are inspecting residential drains (20-30m), commercial sewer laterals (50-60m), or industrial pipelines, our meter counter turns your inspection into a measurable, actionable process.
