non-intrusive ultrasonic sensors for corrosion/erosion monitoring |
Metal Samples along with Sensor Networks Inc., offers the smartPIMS® Datalogger non-intrusive ultrasonic corrosion/erosion monitoring system which is equipped with
an onboard battery and memory that can
store up to 3,000 thickness readings.
It takes measurements at any user-defined time interval, storing them for manual offload to a tablet or PC via an RS-485 cable. The smartPIMS® Datalogger is used for applications where frequent measurements are required, but wireless infrastructure is not available or not permitted.
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 (2 years at 1 reading/day).
- Stores 3000 readings (each w/ time, date, waveform).
- Connects via Modbus (RS-485) to tablet/PC.
- Offloads data to dataPIMS software which can export to an XML/CSV file and/or upload to web PIMS via Internet connection.
- Offers 16 single- or 8 dual-element UT probe channels.
- Transducers maintain 1 mil (0.001” / 0.025mm) resolution and 0.040” (1mm) minimum wall thickness.
- Transducers withstand -22°F (-30°C ) to 932°F (500°C).
- Sensors install buried or above-ground, temporarily or permanently.
- ATEX, IECEx, UL/CSA and Japanese hazardous-area certifications.
