The Revolutionary Wide Area Ultrasonic Monitoring System for Corrosion

The Problem

The cost of corrosion worldwide is $2.5 trillion. To reduce or avoid these costs, your organisation would require a system to identify corroded areas at the earliest possible opportunity. With the ability for enhanced wide area monitoring, the costs would lower through increased efficiency of the RBI team and increased site safety, allowing for fixes to happen before ruptured pipes and disasters.

The Solution

Our Ceilidh wide area monitoring system is a series of thin film sensors (Spiders) for mid-range, high resolution asset monitoring and can help you achieve both increased site safety and efficiency. These low-profile sensors can be permanently installed in confined spaces and under composite wrap for full asset coverage that goes far beyond point monitoring.

Early Detection & Monitoring of Corrosion in the wide-area around an installed sensor - A Case Study

Summary

The case study showed the novosound Ceilidh system is capable of detecting sub-millimetre pitted corrosion with an accuracy of 86-100%, covering a large area, not directly under the sensor and operating independently of user input.

As a scalable and flexible product that allows for much more extensive area coverage, technicians/installers do not need to worry about accurate sensor placement. This innovative offering allows you to add the next level of digital integration into a monitoring ecosystem, saving inspection time/costs and increasing site safety.

Key Points

  1. Early detection and monitoring of corrosion 
  2. Wide-area monitoring, around the sensor area (NOT just point monitoring)
  3. Submillimetre-scale precision with an 86-100% accuracy
  4. Automated data analysis using AI/ML
  5. A scalable and flexible product
