non-intrusive ultrasonic sensors for corrosion/erosion monitoring |
Metal Samples along with Sensor Networks Inc., offers the smartPIMS® Cellular non-intrusive ultrasonic corrosion/erosion monitoring system which is battery powered and has an integral SIM card and cellular radio. The Digital Sensor Interface (DSI) unit is programmed to take thickness measurements at any user-defined time interval, then send the data to webPIMS™, a cloud based back-end for analysis, trending and more.
The smartPIMS® Cellular is used for:
• Frequent data collection to resolve
corrosion-rate or pitting issues.
• Quick, easy installation - temporary or
permanent.
• Areas difficult or expensive to access and
not conducive to manual data collection.
monitor corrosion rate
resolution to 0.001” (0.025mm) • high-risk areas • historically problematic locations |
|
| |
|
monitor “low spots”
post-NDE screening of pits to monitor re-maining thickness • measures down to 0.040” (1.02mm) |
|
| |
|
replace/augment intrusive methods
validation of coupons, ER probes, etc. |
|
| |
|
reduce costs
reduce scaffolding and insulation removal/refitting for internal corrosion monitoring • more accurate/reliable data improving operations |
|

|
- Operates on battery (5-7 years at 1 reading/day).
- Cellularly transmits data to webPIMS™.
- Offers 16 single- or 8 dual-element UT sensor
channels.
- Transducers available to withstand -22°F (-30°C ) to
932°F (500°C).
- Maintains 1 mil (0.001” / 0.025mm) resolution and
0.040” (1mm) minimum wall thickness.
- Sensors install buried or above-ground, temporarily or permanently.
- ATEX, IECEx, UL/CSA and Japanese hazardous-area certifications.
