Ok, Finny or JT, do you guys have a picture of a pipe jeep? I have an idea of what they do from you're guys' discription, but haven't seen one.
Just imagine a long 1" diameter spring wrapped a couple times around a pipe and then pulled to the other end of the pipe. The spring slides across the coating. You ground the pipe and the spring is high voltage like a sparkplug. If there is a defect in the coating, high voltage from the spring will make its way to the pipe through the coating and you will hear a beep. It checks taped joints too.
