The Pipetector applies technology of nuclear magnetic resonance, while magnetic devices apply that of magneto hydrodynamic.
Magnetic devices require more than 2.0 meters/sec of flow speed to provide with anti-corrosion effect.This is unrealistic as the maximum speed limit of water flow is below that in general. Even if water flew faster than 2.0 meters/sec, water clusters that were broken up to smaller by magnetic devices will be back to normal state less than a second, so the devices cannot cover pipework completely.
The Pipetector does not require any running cost until the lifespan ends once it is installed.
Mechanism of The Pipetector is based on black-body radiation theory. Black-body radiation is a theory that any black-body materials emit electromagnetic waves by themselves and without power supply.
Ceramic and charcoal are some examples of black-body materials. Ceramic is sintered at 1,200 degrees Celsius when manufactured and can store thermal energy (entropy) within. Thus, it can emit electromagnetic waves.
Charcoals are carbonized at more than 800 degrees Celsius and can emit infrared waves while the thermal energy (entropy) decreases as the time goes by.
Inside the Pipetector, there are black-body materials that generate electromagnetic waves and neodymium magnets that control and adjust the waves. Based on the theory, the Pipetector is designed to emit electromagnetic waves without power supply.
It doesn’t. NMR is often used as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in hospitals as a harmless method unlike computerized tomography scan (CT scan).
No, it doesn’t. Electromagnetic waves emitted from the Pipetector are very weak as they don’t cause influence on pacemakers nor human body.
Completely safe. For example, water vapor is consisted of small water clusters. The Pipetector is harmless to human body as water vapor is.
For 6 to 7 hours. During the period, water clusters do not bond together, and hydrated electrons will relocate from the inside to the outside to reduce red rust in water to black rust that eventually forms a protective coating on inner surface of water pipes.
The Pipetector is applicable to any types of pipe material.
The Pipetector is effective on galvanized steel, polyvinyl chloride, copper and stainless steel, which are commonly used for pipe material. The effect of the Pipetector reducing red rust to black rust functions throughout pipework including dissimilar metal joints.
The Pipetector also stops oxidation damage on metal pipes.
It depends on amount of water consumption. If there are issues regarding corrosion inside water pipes, iron content in water should be higher than 0.3 mg/L.
It can. In fact, there are many cases the Pipetector stopped water leaks in the early stage.
If the holes are small, the Piptector can close them with protective coating of magnetite formed inside pipes. The magnetite layer protects inner surface of pipes from further corrosion and early stage of water leak. We have confirmed at more than 1,800 installations that no water leak is found after installation of the device on old and degraded pipes.
