External ultrasonic transmitters send pipe or vessel measurements through a wireless gateway to analysis software. Asset teams review wall thickness, metal-loss trends and heatmaps, then compare changes with process conditions.
Wall-thickness history helps asset teams follow how a pipe or vessel changes at the monitored measurement points. Emerson combines external ultrasonic transmitters with an application that presents thickness and metal-loss records. Staff can compare the monitored locations, identify changing areas and examine how a corrosion or erosion event relates to the surrounding process conditions.
Compatible Rosemount wireless corrosion and erosion transmitters collect thickness measurements at the outside of the asset. An ultrasonic measurement uses sound waves to assess the wall rather than an inserted process probe. Battery-powered devices send data through a WirelessHART gateway to the analysis platform. The ET210 model uses electromagnetic acoustic transducer technology to support measurements through suitable external protective coatings. Software normally runs on a local virtual machine and presents its records through a browser on the configured network.
The application organises thickness readings, rates of change and metal-loss heatmaps for the monitored points. Staff can compare a changing sensor location with process history, review asset retirement estimates and plan a follow-up integrity assessment. Measurement trends provide a continuing record for evaluating corrosion or erosion changes after process adjustments. The combination of mapped locations and historical values helps the team decide where further inspection or maintenance attention is needed.
