Dear, I just watched your video. Please I am working with 40cm reinforced concrete. Which Detector should I use that has a lot of capacity in terms of depth . To target and detect the material lying on this wall
40cm is a big distance to detect metallic materials under concrete. What objects are you attempting to detect in the concrete? I suspect this is industrial-grade problem which requires expensive industrial-grade professional equipment like Ground-Penetrating-Radar. Is this a problem you are working on for a company, for work? Or for your own personal project?
The tool does not distinguish between a hollow metal-pipe vs a water-filled metal-pipe. It cannot tell you it is a pipe beneath. Only tells that something dense is beneath. As for distinguishing between timber wall-studs vs metal-pipes.Vertical wall-studs are evenly spaced apart, & of a standard stud width. Typically, in a house, a metal pipe would likely be narrower than a stud, & not spaced regularly across wall. here is link to BOSCH D-TEC120 website where you can download the instruction manual doc. www.bosch-pt.com.au/au/en/products/d-tect-120-06010813K0
on drywall and bricks - the results searching for electric cables + metall-pipes vary if your hands have contact with the wall or not .. depends on how you are grounded - bosch recommends not to change hand-on & hand-off during measuring-searching
Thanks for the reminder. You raised an interesting aspect. For non-electrical materials, detection is via Radar system. However, for detection of LIVE AC-current electrical-wires, detection is done via EMF (Electro-Magnetic-Field) detection. Hence, when attempting to detect LIVE AC-current electrical-wires over a large area, it is useful to discharge body static-electricity by placing hand on wall - as you said. It also makes detection easier when electrical equipment - which are connected to the LIVE AC-current circuits - are switched on. As the LIVE-circuits generates stronger EMF to enable easier detection. The caution then is that if there are AC-current electrical-wires behind a wall, & the circuit(s) is/are not LIVE (e.g. the switch-board circuit-breaker is switched off). Then the D-TEC120 will not detect existence of LIVE-wires. Thus a user may misconstrue that to mean there is something there, but no electrical-wire behind that wall. Then if the user drills/cuts that area of wall, & later switches back on the power to that circuit. It becomes a serious electrical safety hazard. Another caution to note is that this device does not detect LIVE DC-current electrical-circuits. This can be a serious problem as more homes, caravans, trailers, motorhomes are powered by solar-powered battery-systems. But for detection of non-electrical materials (water-pipes, timber-studs, steel-posts, etc), radar system is used, & placing of hands on wall to discharge static-electricity would not be required. What are your thoughts?
The problem is, it doesn't say if it's a pipe or a stud. It just says there's something there.
And when you're trying to put something in the studs...
Excellent explanation given technical specification 👍🙏
thanks

Sir, what model is the Zircon scanner, how much is it and where I can fix d, please..?
you will be able find various Zircon models by google.
,RECIEN VEO ESTE VIDEO, ENCONTRASTE ALGUIN ESCANER CON MAYOR PRECISION PARA CAÑOS DE AGUA de 12 CM MINIMO ( plomo , galvanizado. pvc , etc )
in the user-manuals, accuracy of D-TEC120 is +-10mm. Whereas accuracy of D-TECT200 is +-5mm. Suggest you investigate.
TY
how do i know if im detecting a water filled pipe versus a stud?? thank you

Thanks for this
I am trying it with plaster and not sure how well it works!
should be easy to detect through plasterboard wall.
