Non-Destructive Testing Device for Wooden Poles AKOD-M for Electrical Lines

An apparatus for control of wooden supports AKOD-M® is a nondestructive testing device designed to determine the degree of rotting of wooden supports of power lines. The use of AKOD-M® device is necessary for timely detection of rotten supports and regular quality control of power line supports in order to prevent ruptures and emergencies.

The principle of operation of the Wood Inspection Apparatus is based on the control of the hardness of the wood of the support by means of a steel needle. The needle penetrates into the support under the action of a calibrated spring, the degree of compression of which can be used to determine the degree of wood rot.

Earlier produced instruments POZD, PKDO-1 had one design disadvantage: rigid fixing of the outer tube created certain difficulties in visual reading of the scale data. Now the design of the outer tube of ACOD-M® has been changed. When mounting the ACOD-M® device to a pole, it is possible to rotate the outer tube for a better ...
