General corrosion in water lines poses a significant challenge due to its gradual but widespread damage. It occurs uniformly along the internal surface of pipes, weakening the structure over time. This leads to increased maintenance costs, reduced pipeline lifespan, and potential water contamination.
Our inline corrosion detection solution for water lines utilizes advanced UT sensor technology to identify and assess general corrosion. UT sensors arrays emit sound waves that travel through the pipeline wall, detecting variations in material thickness caused by corrosion or deterioration. By analyzing these acoustic signals, the system accurately locates areas where the pipe material may be compromised due to corrosion.
Detecting general corrosion in water pipelines is crucial for operators as it helps prevent costly repairs, minimize downtime, and extend pipeline lifespan. Early detection allows for targeted maintenance, reducing the need for complete replacements and avoiding water quality issues caused by pipe degradation. Monitoring corrosion also ensures regulatory compliance, protects public health by preventing contamination, and improves operational efficiency. By proactively addressing corrosion, operators can optimize resource allocation and maintain reliable water distribution systems.
