3.7 Using the pipeline inspection reel
Check push cable for wear - visually inspect the push cable for cuts, kinks, and abrasions as it is retrieved back
into the cable cage. If the jacket is cut or worn to the point that the yellow or white kevlar braid can be seen, then
it is time to replace the push cable. Using the push cable with open cuts will result in water and moisture entering
the push cable and eventually traveling through it, causing a degraded camera image, or total image failure.
The push cable sections shown below are examples of badly worn jackets. Push cable such as this should be
replaced as soon as possible.
Keep the push cable and termination spring assembly dry and clean – when retrieving the push cable keep a
clean, dry rag in one hand and wipe down the push cable as it moves through it. At the end of the day,use
low-pressure water to rinse off the camera head and rinse away accumulated dirt and debris that may be caught
in the spring. Shake dry or use low-pressure air to blow the excess water away and dry off the parts. The camera
head, push cable and termination parts are exposed to very harsh chemicals in day-to-day use. Keeping a clean
system will help prolong the life of these parts.
Maintain proper control of the push cable – attempting to pull the push cable out of the reel while the reel is
locked will result in the push cable collapsing in the reel and stressing the push cable. Pushing the push cable
back into the reel while it is locked may cause the reel to tip over or kink the cable.
Position the reel on a fl at surface approximately three to six feet or one to two meters from the entry point. This
will provide enough space to work with the push cable without a lot of slack dragging on the ground. Use the
friction brake to slow down the movement of the push cable drum if needed.
Using the reel in a horizontal position makes the width between the feet greater. This will give the reel more
stability if on uneven surfaces and will lower the height when in confi ned spaces.
