Permanently installed monitoring systems deliver continuous wall thickness data such that

• metal loss – corrosion/erosion – rates can be determined;
• the points in time at which these rates change can be correlated with operational changes – e.g. refining feedstock compositions, transmission pipeline ‘slugs’, sand holdup in risers – to contribute to generation of insights into the relationships between operating decisions and asset integrity.

GUL’s monitoring systems

• generate the data using permanently installed transduction rings
• retrieve this data using any of several wireless backhaul options
• process the data with analytical software embodying our decades of expertise in guided wave analysis
• serve up the resulting condition information in our world-leading Monitoring Studio
• provide for the automated import of condition information to historians, to facilitate correlation of changes on condition with changes in operating conditions

Guided Ultrasonics and our select partners use these systems to deliver monitoring services under long-term service agreements.
