A whole new approach to corrosion/erosion monitoring
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.
Use matPIMS for:
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.
Monitoring low spots
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.
THE NEW SOLUTION TO NON-INTRUSIVE CORROSION & EROSION MANAGEMENT
Our line of non-destructive corrosion/erosion sensors provide an advanced inspection method; Monitoring. With corrosion and erosion monitoring, asset owners are able to gain further insight into their assets by taking frequent and consistent thickness measurements, without the need for manual inspection methods. With higher quality and quantity data, owners and operators are able to analyze, trend, and correlate corrosion/erosion rates with their processes and make necessary adjustments to mitigate potential problems.
