Probes - Corrosion, Erosion & Hydrogen

The Probes are designed to facilitate the measurement of corrosion without removing the monitoring device from service, allowing continuous and direct readings.

Datasheet

ER Probes

The Electrical Resistance (ER) probes measure the change in the resistance (mOhms) of a corroding metal element exposed to the process stream. The action of corrosion on the surface of the probe element produces a decrease in cross-sectional area with a corresponding increase in electrical resistance.

Flush Strip

Flush Strip ER probes are designed to monitor localized wall effects like corrosion due to the water formation in sour environment.

Datasheet

Tubular

Tubular ER Probe has the fastest dynamic response to temperature transients and it is the least susceptible to the effect of conductive deposits.

Datasheet

Flush Spiral

Flush Spiral ER Probes are designed for long life under extreme conditions in Oil and Gas systems.

Datasheet

Wireloop

Wireloop ER Probe is highly sensitive and suggested for locations subject to electrical or system noise.

Datasheet

Spiral Loop

The “helix” probe design gives an excellent combination of long life and sensitivity.

Datasheet

LPR Probes

Linear Polarization Resistance (LPR) Probe is an effective electrochemical method of measuring corrosion. LPR Probes are commonly used in conductive environments such as water or any electrolyte.

Flush Two electrodes

Flush LPR Probe is an effective electrochemical method of measuring corrosion. It allows pigging operation without interference.

Datasheet

Flush Three electrodes

Flush LPR Probe is an effective electrochemical method of measuring corrosion. It allows pigging operation without interference.

Datasheet

Projecting Two electrodes

Projecting LPR Probe reduces the risk of deposits on the electrodes which may influence the results and also offers larger electrode area in the same application.

Datasheet

Projecting Three electrodes

Projecting LPR Probe reduces the risk of deposits on the electrodes which may influence the results and also offers larger electrode area in the same application.

Datasheet

Hydrogen Probes

Corrosion of steel in acidic environments, may occur as a result of hydrogen (H + ion) reduction. Hydrogen Probe can detect the produced hydrogen gas permeating the pipewall by monitoring the pressure increase inside the cavity of the Hydrogen Cross. The pressure buildup is directly proportional to the flux of atomic hydrogen that can be determinated according to the ideal gas Law.

Hydrogen Probe

Hydrogen Probe can detect the produced hydrogen gas permeating the pipewall by monitoring the pressure increase inside the cavity of the Hydrogen Cross.

Datasheet

Sand Probes

Sometimes an environment contains solid particles that may impinge on the metal surface thus the protective corrosion product layer or oxides can be thinned or removed and the corrosion rate will be greatly increased. EuropCorr offers four configurations to install Sand Probes depending on the installation conditions or requirements.

Sacrificial with Sand Plug

Sacrificial Sand Probe is a thin wall steel tube (generally 1 mm) inserted into the flowline to detect and indicate that excessive erosion or corrosion has occured.

Datasheet

Sacrificial with Tee Fitting

Sacrificial Sand Probe is a thin wall steel tube (generally 1 mm) inserted into the flowline to detect and indicate that excessive erosion or corrosion has occured.

Datasheet

Sacrificial Fixed

Sacrificial Sand Probe is a thin wall steel tube (generally 1 mm) inserted into the flowline to detect and indicate that excessive erosion or corrosion has occured.

Datasheet

Electronic

Electronic Sand Probe is based on the traditional Ohm’s Law as a standard ER Probe.

Probes - Corrosion, Erosion & Hydrogen

The Probes are designed to study corrosion, erosion and other phenomena that influence pipelines and vessels. Compared to traditional Coupons, this monitoring method facilitates continuous corrosion measurement without having to remove the monitoring device from service.

At a technological level we can divide them into two groups:
– Of Electronic type that generates digital data and therefore downloaded through instruments.
– Or analog type, which are connected to traditional sensors, such as a pressure gauge or a thermometer, which allow us to see the effect of corrosion directly.

For different monitoring purposes, we have a variety of probes:
– ER Probes are used to measure instantaneous metal loss and corrosion rate on time.
– LPR Probes provide instantaneous corrosion rate in waterbased environments.
– Erosion Sand Probes provide early detection of sand erosion.
– Hydrogen Probes are used to monitor hydrogen that has permeated into the steel in an acidic environment.
