Predictive Corrosion Management Solutions

Predictive Corrosion Management solutions combine cloud-based software built with Rightrax PM installed sensors to monitor the loss of interior wall thickness of pipes, tanks, and vessels.

Installed sensors providing thickness measurements, combined with cloud-based software, ofer real-time trending, robust visualizations, and out-of-the-box analytics.


Key Features and Benefits
* Monitor interior piping wall loss due to corrosion and erosion
* Make informed decisions with the help of analytics
* Manage and mitigate corrosion-related risks to operations.
* Reduce inspection-related costs.
* Utilize continuous sensor data for better informed asset, maintenance, and process decisions.
* Measure corrosion inhibitor program effectiveness.
* Improve personnel safety

Based on daily measurements with 64 probes under normal conditions.
Default application is in clock positions. Other configurations are possible.
Excluding antenna
Actual radio frequency range performance is subject to a number of installation variables including, but not restricted to, ambient temperature, relative humidity, presence of active interference sources, line-of-sight obstacles, and proximity of objects (trees, walls, signage, piping, and so on) that may include multipath fading. As a result, actual performance varies.
Actual performance can vary depending upon network bandwidth and schedule for upload to cloud or based on deployment topology.
