Small Transducers: 4 Examples of Applications they can Enable
SNI’s highly experienced application engineers have developed the know-how and creativity to design and develop miniature custom transducers for unusual, demanding, and complicated applications.
Continuous Access and Customization with Raw Data Saved
webPIMS™ data from Sensor Networks’ PIMS devices provides users with critical corrosion rate information that is needed to monitor the effects of process or crude-slate changes and to correlate operational system updates. With webPIMS, you can access data from anywhere with an internet-enabled device including a smartphone! Available 24/7, team members can simultaneously review data in […]
Displaying Corrosion Rates using the Mils-per-Year Setting
Measuring corrosion rates is an important part of keeping potential problems from becoming disastrous realities. webPIMS™data from Sensor Networks’ PIMS devices provides users with critical short- or long-term corrosion rate information that is needed to monitor crude-slate changes or to correlate operational system updates. In the United States, corrosion rates are typically calculated using mils […]
Custom Report Building with New Report Writer Function
Within webPIMS™, several calculations are made to determine corrosion/erosion rates and predicted alarm/end-of-life dates for the monitored asset. All this data can be sent straight to you thanks to the optional Report Writer function that allows you to select from several report formats from webPIMS data and have a report file (CSV) sent to your e-mail […]
Time-Gated Corrosion-Rate Measurement using a Non-intrusive Ultrasonic Monitoring System
Process units such as refineries and chemical manufacturing facilities observe operational events on a daily, weekly, monthly, and sometimes even hourly basis that can induce pesky episodic or lasting corrosion. Perhaps an excursion or upset took place and you want to take a closer look at that asset’s integrity operating window (IOW). Maybe a unit […]
Retrieval of Foreign Object in a Boiler Using the SNI JAWS 2.0
The modern process plant is a marvel of mechanical, electrical, chemical, and process engineering. Its efficient and safe operations require meticulous and strict control of the condition of the space within the pipelines or vessels storing a myriad of different petrochemical products. It is easy to understand the distress, even panic, to plant operators when […]
It’s All About the App
The UT transducer can enable and/or optimize the examination. This edition’s feature story includes solving an important application for an aerospace customer who wanted to improve the inspection productivity for safety-critical drive train coupling discs. The customer sent Mr. Dane Hackenberger, SNI’s senior UT application engineer, samples of the components that included #1 (1/64” or […]
On-Site Retrieval Tooling Increases Nuclear Plant Outage Efficiency
Planned outages are necessary for every power plant – especially nuclear. Controlling the efficiency of outage operations can help to decrease the total downtime of a plant. The cost of downtime for a 1,000 mega-watt nuclear plant is roughly $500k per day. One Sensor Networks customer has found increased efficiency in their downtime operations by […]
microPIMS® I.S. Goes Global!
What is microPIMS Intrinsically Safe? MicroPIMS “I.S.” is a non-intrusive, fully wireless 900MHz / LoRaWAN ultrasonic-based corrosion/erosion and temperature monitoring sensors. Due to the extremely long range and low battery power required to drive these sensors, asset owners are using this technology in tandem with other wireless networks to move to a ‘plant of the […]
Looking Deep – Remote Visual Inspection in Mining
The Hi-Def PTZx is a remote visual inspection camera that is designed to solve inspection requirements in the industrial industry. This Pan Tilt Zoom camera features LED lights to inspect dark areas like those found at mining facilities.
