Hydrosteel 7000 TL - New Lightweight, Battery Operated Corrosion Monitor

The Hydrosteel 7000 TL is a complete stand-alone battery operated kit weighing just 8 kg, 15 lb. The lightweight instrument has been designed for easy installation at the top of tall refinery towers and columns.

A major benefit of Hydrosteel 7000 TL is its ability to continuously monitor active corrosion and hydrogen risk damage, non-intrusively. This is particularly useful for sour, HF and high temperature corrosion events which occur over timescales of days, weeks and months.

Most non-intrusive monitors depend upon measuring difference in metal thickness over time. This prevents the measurement being identified by a corrosion cause. As flux responds to hour by hour changes in corrosion, Hydrosteel 7000 TL can be successfully used to identify what process parameters cause changes in corrosivity.

Highly accurate, Hydrosteel 7000 TL provides the most sensitive, precise hydrogen flux measurements available. Hydrosteel 7000 TL monitors continuously, without any human intervention, and responds to corrosion changes within minutes. The instrument provides customers with an advantage by not relying upon an explosion proof box to confer safe use in intrinsic areas and by requiring no bespoke probe fittings, like other competing products.

Developed for the continuous monitoring of hydrogen activity, Hydrosteel 7000 TL is used within critical refinery sites suffering from sour corrosion and risk of hydrogen damage. Target industries for Hydrosteel 7000 TL include refineries, gas plants, gas oil separation plants and chemical industries using petrochemicals containing sour gas, and ammonia production.

Hydrosteel 7000 TL is the latest addition to the leading range of handheld roaming, fixed and portable corrosion monitors, available through Ion Science and its global network of distributors.
