Ionix HotSense™ has been successfully deployed with a CALIPERAY wireless system and a field communication kit to monitor erosion rates in a remote upstream Shell facility as an alternative to manual inspection with X-ray RT profiling.
HotSense ultrasonic sensors are the only fully intrinsically safe ultrasonic sensors which can be used to make thickness measurements through thermally sprayed aluminium (TSA) coatings at high or low temperatures.
Ionix sensors have been deployed in a key installation of automated in-service corrosion monitoring of multiple refinery process units at a major oil company, as part of a refinery digitalisation strategy.
Recently completed independent testing has shown the stability of HotSense transducers to radiation levels associated with nuclear plant operating environments.
A number of new Corrosion Monitoring techniques and methods are emerging allowing in-service inspection or corrosion monitoring with installed sensors looking at wall thickness.
