SAUDI ARAMCO, the largest oil and gas company in the Middle East, is the latest major operator to formally approve Inductosense’s corrosion monitoring technology. The WAND system has performed successfully throughout the trials, having been installed on pipework and vessels across 6 Saudi Aramco gas plants and refineries in remote,...
Dr. Robert Phillips, Applications Engineer (rob@inductosense.com) Sand erosion in pipes on upstream assets can happen rapidly causing critical safety issues and incurring significant financial costs. Manual ultrasonic inspection is typically used alongside other techniques to determine the extent of internal erosion. In this blog we discuss the use of permanently...
Inductosense, reached the milestone of 5000 sensors shipped to customers this week. With the latest WAND shipment despatched to a major oil and gas customer in India, 14 countries now have the WAND system in operation. Established in 2015, Inductosense is a spin-out from the Ultrasonics and Non-Destructive Testing Group...
Bristol based technology developer Inductosense, has developed the WAND Remote Data Collector (WAND-RDC) for cost-effective remote internal corrosion/erosion monitoring. The product is based on Inductosense’s inductively coupled WAND sensor technology and reduces the need for NDT personnel on-site to take ultrasonic thickness measurements. It also eliminates the indirect costs associated...
Following the success of the shorter length ECHO100 solution, Inductosense has developed longer ECHO extension cables, now available in 2 metre and 4 metre lengths. The flexible and robust ECHO cable is easily and quickly installed: one end of the extension cable is installed over a WAND thickness monitoring sensor...
Wireless Battery-Free Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement Patches for CO2 Absorber by Martyn Cooper – Principal Integrity Engineer at Santos – highlighting the key benefits of the WAND system when compared against alternative ultrasonic thickness methods. The Inductosense ultrasonic WAND solution has been successfully evaluated by Martyn Cooper, Principal Integrity Engineer at...
Q1 How are the sensors attached to a structure? The sensors are attached using an epoxy adhesive to bare metal surfaces. The epoxy also acts as a couplant for the ultrasonic signal and Inductosense has different adhesives depending on the temperature of the structure. To protect the sensor from environmental...
Bristol based technology developer Inductosense, has developed a robotic crawler for tank thickness monitoring, known as the WAND-Crawler. The remote monitoring solution was developed in collaboration with robotics solutions provider Advanced Mechanical Systems. The WAND-Crawler obtains thickness readings using the existing ultrasonic WAND technology; WAND sensors are permanently installed on...
Ultrasonic sensor solution experts, Inductosense, has entered into a collaboration agreement with asset integrity lifecycle partner, Stork, for its internal corrosion monitoring solutions. With operators escalating focus on digital solutions and unmanned assets, Stork is rapidly growing its inspection and maintenance technologies. Following a successful validation process with a major North...
UK based ultrasonic sensor solution experts, Inductosense, concluded a recent InnovateUK study to assess the “Lifetime testing of passive, wireless sensors for demanding environments”. Inductosense and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) received funding from the Analysis for Innovator (A4I) programme, to undertake rigorous testing of Inductosense’s patented WAND wall thickness...
