Corrosion is metal's greatest enemy. In some industrial environments, tubing only lasts a year. In order to avoid leaks, asset operators and inspectors must always be informed about the remaining wall thickness and thus the remaining service life. With the help of heat-resistant ultrasonic sensors, DEKRA records and processes this data as part of modern online monitoring.
DEKRA has created an online monitoring system based on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) that continuously delivers reports on the function and condition of individual components and materials.
An asset is therefore monitored permanently and at a distance, increasing the insight into safe operation and degradation. But the system also helps to identify when on-site measurements are required. If a sensor reports a deterioration of critical readings, this is taken as an opportunity to manually perform a precisely calibrated measurement, to be on the safe side.
