Sensor Networks, Inc. (SNI) (Boalsburg, Pennsylvania, USA) announced the release of microPIMS as a non-intrusive, ultrasonic sensor for its corrosion/erosion monitoring product line.
The product, which debuted at NACE International’s CORROSION 2018 show, incorporates the ultrasonic measurement and Internet of Things capabilities earned within the company’s large installed base of smartPIMS systems running around the world.
Unique to the new product is that all data is transmitted 100% wirelessly from the sensor to a web portal, allowing users to easily view the thickness, temperature, and metal-loss data from anywhere via a web-enabled device. From there, one to thousands of sensors can connect to a single central gateway.
The sensor also includes the choice of two different measurement sensors, including a high-temperature (150 °C), dual-element sensor and an ultra-high-temperature (500 °C), delay-line transducer that can span a thickness range from 0.04 in (1.0 mm) to 6 in (150 mm) with 0.001 in (0.025 mm) of measurement resolution.
The battery-powered sensors are easy to install or reposition as needed, the company explains.
