Zero-infrastructure ultrasonic monitoring for critical, high-temperature assets.
Track corrosion, erosion and wall loss on high-temperature assets without scaffolding, insulation removal or permanent monitoring infrastructure.
For applications across refining, oil & gas, energy, nuclear, and process sectors.
More Information
OUR TECHNOLOGY
Start monitoring your assets with HotSense™ to increase plant productivity:
- Collect reliable trend data: Track wall-thickness changes between inspection windows.
- Reduce access requirements: Limit scaffolding, insulation removal and manual inspection rounds.
- Monitor without infrastructure: Deploy without Wi-Fi, gateways, power or permanent cabling.
- Focus on critical assets: Prioritise monitoring where risk, cost or access difficulty is highest.
- Support maintenance planning: Use wall-loss trends to inform inspection and outage decisions.
- Identify rate changes: Track corrosion and erosion behaviour over time.
- Collect data simply: Use TRND Connect to download readings via Bluetooth or USB.
- Keep data accessible: Export using CSV or cloud options for reporting and analysis.
TRND CAPABILITY
TRND FOCUS
- Zero-infrastructure deployment: Monitor critical assets without Wi-Fi, gateways, site power or permanent cabling.
- Built for extreme applications: Operate reliably in high-temperature environments up to and beyond 550 °C.
- On-stream data collection: Collect wall-thickness trends while assets remain in service, not only during outages.
- Simple field workflow: Commission and collect data using TRND Connect, with Bluetooth or USB export options.
- TRND ecosystem ready: Connect Focus data into the wider TRND workflow for monitoring hardware, data and decisions.
OPERATIONAL IMPACT
- Reduce maintenance and access costs: Use continuous wall-loss trends to support inspection and maintenance planning.
- Detect rate changes: Identify corrosion and erosion changes linked to process or operating conditions.
- Optimise RBI focus: Direct inspection effort towards the assets and locations where measured risk is highest
- Enable confident decisions: Give integrity teams clearer data to support long-term asset management.
