Non-Destructive Corrosion & Erosion Area Monitoring System
matPIMS® are non-intrusive corrosion/erosion area monitors designed to take ultrasonic thickness readings to be collected and analyzed over time.
Built in two variations (3×5 and 1×15), matPIMS are comprised of single-element ultrasonic sensors in an array/matrix pattern to provide consistent coverage of targeted or critical areas.
Data is transmitted to a SCADA/DCS system via Modbus (RS-485) for frequent polling or manually offloaded using a PC/laptop. The data can then be transmitted to webPIMS™ for recording, trending, and analysis.
Benefits of Corrosion/Erosion Monitoring with matPIMS
convenient & consistent data collection
Once installed, thickness data can be taken and collected as frequently as required from a safe and convenient access point.
Corrosion Rate Monitoring
matPIMS provide resolution to 0.001" (0.025mm) and highly repeatable readings.
Low Spot Monitoring
Can be used for post-NDE screening of pits to monitor remaining thickness and asset useful life.
Buried Pipe and Slurry Lines
Installation of matPIMS on buried pipelines allows for convenient data collection without the need for frequent expensive digs.
Monitoring Known Critical Areas
matPIMS area monitors cover a larger range at critical locations. 1x15 Linear = 7" (178mm) 3x5 Matrix = 2x1.25" (51x32mm)
Reducing Costs
Reduced costs by providing consistent thickness data without the need for manual inspection methods in difficult areas to reach.
