Ultrasonic Thickness (UT) Corrosion & Erosion Monitoring

Innovative and proven corrosion and erosion monitoring solutions for better-informed decision making.

Maximize Your Operational Efficiency and Ultimately, Your Profitability

Emerson's Rosemountâ„¢ Wireless Corrosion and Erosion Transmitters are engineered with innovative and proven corrosion and erosion monitoring technology for enhanced profitability in industrial settings. These transmitters combine non-intrusive, permanently installed ultrasonic sensors with wireless communication to provide continuous, accurate wall thickness measurements in extreme temperatures and remote locations. This comprehensive solution enables asset and integrity managers to make better-informed decisions about maintenance, replacement, and process optimization, even in hazardous areas, without the need for expensive cabling or frequent manual inspections.

Overview

Ultrasonic Thickness Monitoring - Rosemount Wireless UT Transmitters

How Rosemount Wireless UT Transmitters Work

Rosemount Wireless UT Transmitters are permanently installed, non-intrusive devices that monitor the direct wall thickness of your asset. They observe the metal loss of your asset at the installation point to help understand if corrosion or erosion is damaging your process. These transmitters then capture the ultrasonic signal for that point and transmit it wirelessly using WirelessHART® protocol. The data is received by the data management software where patented signal processing will calculate ‘time of flight’ of the ultrasound to calculate a thickness for that measurement point. Emerson’s Plantweb Insightâ„¢ Non-Intrusive Corrosion Application provides various data visualizations to help aid in the decision-making process around how to manage corrosion or erosion damage in your facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ultrasonic thickness (UT) corrosion and erosion monitoring devices measure the thickness of metal assets, such as pipes, tanks, and vessels, to understand metal loss.

Corrosion and erosion rates can fluctuate quickly and unexpectedly. Continuous monitoring allows for easy identification of active corrosion or erosion events along with the understanding of the impact on your plant health in real time. This information can help you can make informed decisions about process optimization and maintenance planning.

Emerson’s Rosemount Wireless ET210, ET310, and ET410 Corrosion and Erosion Transmitters can accurately measure through any painted external coatings. The Rosemount Wireless ET310C and WT210 Corrosion and Erosion Transmitters can measure on all metals.

Rosemount Wireless Corrosion and Erosion Transmitters offer market leading metal loss detection of 2.5μm and can be deployed virtually anywhere with operating temperatures up to 600°C (1100°F). Also, Rosemount Wireless Corrosion and Erosion Transmitters are maintenance free for up to 9 years, as they are couplant and calibration free.

Emerson’s Rosemount Wireless ET310, ET310C, and ET210 Transmitters can be used with a Magnetic Vessel Mount to monitor for corrosion or erosion on pipes, vessels, and tanks with a diameter greater than 30 inches.
