Ball passage indicator in the pipeline
Thread Content
As the title suggests, has anyone used ball-passing indicators in long-distance pipeline systems? It seems they are commonly used; some of them have remote transmission capabilities while others provide local indication. Could someone who knows about this explain the principle behind them as well as their general applications? Thank you~
1. Mechanical: There is a lever-like component inside the pipe; as the ball passer passes through, it moves this lever, which in turn triggers a component similar to a limit switch through mechanical transmission, thereby enabling remote control； At the same time, a paddle at the site also drops along with the ball-passing device, thereby providing on-site indication. 2. It is sensor-based: the ball-passing device contains a signal transmitter, while the ball-passing indicator has sensing elements; the ball triggers this mechanism as it passes through

Generally, they are mechanical, right? ours are all mechanical
