Optimising the Management and Maintenance of Steam Pipes and Vessels
Ionix HotSense is a non-invasive ultrasonic thickness monitoring solution;
For users of pressurised steam pipes and vessels;
Who want to always know the remaining life of their assets;
So that they can shorten outages to maximise availability and reduce outage costs.
Unlike manual inspection data HotSense provides trending of wall loss and detection of changes to predict maintenance intervals and optimize process conditions.
Wall Thickness Trending Requires High Precision and High Frequency Thickness Measurements
High Precision Thickness Measurements
- -200 to +550 °C (-328 to +1022 °F)
- Failure catastrophic
- Low profile under insulation or in confined spaces
High Frequency Data Collection from HotSense™ Transducers
- Automated, Wireless, Battery Powered
- High frequency data collection direct to server or control room
- Low cost
- Manual data collection from cabinet in safe area
Wall Thickness Trends Optimise Asset and Process Management
Data collection, trending and control Software – WAMP
Track wall loss rates, detect changes and see into the future
- Understand current wall loss rates to feed maintenance planning
- Detect changes and relate to process conditions
