Inline corrosion monitoring for asset maintenance teams

In-process corrosion probes and wireless transmitters feed gateways and analysis software. Teams review metal-loss trends, fluid corrosivity, probe life estimates and battery status to plan treatment or maintenance checks.

About Inline corrosion monitoring for asset maintenance teams

Changes in fluid corrosivity help asset teams assess what is happening inside a process. Emerson connects in-process corrosion probes with an application that turns their measurements into corrosion-rate trends and fluid condition indicators. Staff can review the resulting records when assessing chemical treatment settings or planning a closer investigation of the monitored equipment.

Electrical resistance probes track changes associated with metal loss, while linear polarization resistance probes provide corrosion-rate measurements in suitable processes. Compatible wireless transmitters pass the probe data through a plant gateway to the analysis platform. Standard software deployment runs on a local virtual machine, a software computer within the site’s server infrastructure, and users open the web interface through the configured network. Supported industrial interfaces can exchange records with process historians and other monitoring systems.

The application presents corrosion-rate changes, fluid corrosivity levels and estimated remaining life for electrical resistance probes. Battery status helps the team plan work on the measurement devices themselves. Charts and a heatmap organise the monitored tags so staff can identify a changing process point and compare its history. The combination of process trends and probe condition supports decisions about a treatment review, a field check or replacement of a measurement probe.

How it works

Sense
Measure metal loss or corrosion rate with in-process probes.
Connect
Send probe data through wireless transmitters and a gateway.
Analyze
Calculate corrosivity trends and estimated probe service life.
Act
Review changing process points and plan treatment or probe checks.
