The UltraMonit® effectively monitors internal corrosion and erosion rates in pipelines using ultrasound technology to provide highly accurate measurements.
The UltraMonit® technology is the best on the market with respect to precision, accuracy and speed of detection for non-intrusive wall thickness monitoring, corrosion rate estimation and corrosion profile estimation.
Key advantages:
- Non-intrusive, meaning no threat to pipeline integrity.
- Flexible number and placement of sensors in the UltraMonit tool.
- Immediate feedback on the effectiveness of corrosion inhibitors
- Online or remote operation.
- Real-time data readout.
- Automated measurement, logging and analysis.
- Flexible reading intervals determined by operator.
Making Pipeline Integrity Management easier
An advantage of the system is that customers can optimize their use of corrosion inhibitors or can predict the remaining lifetime of a pipeline. The UltraMonit® system can also be used for the verification and calibration of inspection pig data at selected locations and provide information about critical areas between inspection surveys.
The UltraMonit® PL provides real-time and online wall thickness monitoring on subsea pipelines and spools.
Some key advantages are:
- Reduces or eliminates the need for intelligent pigging.
- Real-time monitoring of the effectiveness of corrosion inhibitors (feedback on corrosion inhibitor programs).
- Benchmarking of intelligent pigging.
- Improved pipeline integrity management on non-piggable pipelines.
- Life extension and improved safety margins for late life pipelines.
- Monitor weld/HAZ on pipe to show variation in corrosion rates.
The UltraMonit® Retrofit system also uses an array of pulse-echo ultrasound transducers providing reliable high precision wall thickness measurements at selected locations.
Some key advantages are:
- Non-Intrusive direct wall thickness measurement.
- Can be installed post pipe lay (no rotation issues).
- Online and real-time feedback on corrosion inhibitor effectiveness.
- Reduces or eliminates the need for intelligent pigging.
- Selection of less expensive pipe material through increased monitoring.
- Can discriminate corrosion rates between weld, pipe wall and HAZ corrosion.
- Battery powered or powered by cable.
- Works through solid external coatings (PE, 3LPP, FBE, etc.).
- Improved pipeline integrity management.
- Life extension and improved safety margins for late life pipelines.
- Removable, movable and replaceable throughout the lifetime of the tool.
UltraMonit® XT
Sensorlink’s UltraMonit® XT is built after the same principle as the other UltraMonit® products, with ultrasonic pulse echo transducers, data logger, data storage and communication to subsea control system.
The UltraMonit® XT shares most of the key advantages with the other UltraMonit products.
Some key advantages are:
- Non-Intrusive direct wall thickness measurement.
- Online and real-time feedback.
- Battery powered or powered by cable.
- Works through solid external coatings (PE, 3LPP, FBE, etc.).
- Improved pipeline integrity management.
