IIoT and wireless technologies can provide a cost-effective solution for monitoring the thickness of pipes and obtaining a corrosion rate assessment. This is crucial for ensuring safety management within a facility, as pipes are vital assets. Unfortunately, pipes are often not monitored continuously, making it difficult to detect potential loss of containment, which could result in environmental damage, fires, and explosions.
1. Early Detection:
Online monitoring of pipe corrosion and erosion provides early detection of potential problems before they become severe. By continuously monitoring the pipe's condition, any changes in the thickness or rate of corrosion can be detected early on, enabling preventive maintenance and repairs to be carried out before the situation becomes critical. This early detection can help prevent costly repairs, environmental damage, and unplanned downtime.
