For over 60 years Superior ® Smoke Generators have been used for literally hundreds of applications: Sewer inflow leak detection, firefighter training, HVAC testing, truck and trailer leak detection, special effects and a variety of other air flow visualization and leak detection applications.
Hundreds of millions of feet of sanitary sewer mains have been smoke tested using Superior ® Smoke Candles, Smoke Blowers, & Smoke Fluid, eliminating countless faults - and the SSO’s that would result from them.
Smoke testing is commonly used to identify storm water inflow points in the sewer system. Cherne offers a complete line of smoke blowers, smoke liquids, and candles for effective testing.
Smoke testing is the industry standard method of identifying sources of surface inflow to the sanitary sewer, which leads to reduced efficacy of local sewer treatment plants. A Smoke Test uses non-toxic smoke and high capacity blowers to blow smoke through the sanitary sewer lipes.
Smoke testing is a relatively simple process which consists of blowing smoke mixed with larger volumes of air into the sanitary sewer line. Usually induced through the manhole, the smoke travels the path of least resistance and quickly shows up at sites that allow surface water inflow.
Cherne Air-Loc smoke testing candles produce a thick, dense smoke to identify water infiltration into sanitary sewer systems and can be used with most smoke blowers. Simple to use 30 seconds, 60 seconds and 3 min. candles available with and without double wick that allows units to be strung together for longer smoke time
This innovative method allows for the detection of leaks, blockages, and cracks in pipes without the need for invasive and costly procedures. By launching a smoke bomb into a sewer line, professionals can quickly pinpoint any issues by observing the smoke's movement and direction.
