CorrosionRADAR presented the sensor CR:SR, a new solution designed to expand your capabilities corrosion monitoring under insulation (CUI) the device incorporates short-range technology to monitor specific points of industrial assets without removing insulation, offering an alternative for facilities where localized monitoring is more convenient.
In addition, the company indicated that the new sensor integrates with the platform CR:CLARITY, responsible for reinforcing inspection data, analyzing it using artificial intelligence-based tools, and generating reports that support decision-making on asset integrity.
CorrosionRADAR promotes corrosion control under insulation
The corrosion under insulation it remains one of the main risks for industrial facilities in the energy and petrochemical sectors. This mechanism often remains hidden for long periods, making it difficult to detect through traditional periodic inspection programs.
In this scenario, continuous monitoring solutions allow for the identification of changes in equipment conditions before they evolve into more impactful failures, optimizing maintenance planning and reducing unnecessary interventions.
Localized monitoring without removing the isolation
The new CR:SR it was developed to monitor specific areas considered high risk, its design facilitates installation without dismantling existing insulation, reducing intervention times and operating costs.
Furthermore, the sensor complements the solution CR:LR, geared towards the continuous monitoring of large vessels, columns, tanks and other equipment where long-range coverage is required. Both technologies share the same analytics platform to provide a unified view of asset status.
Artificial intelligence to prioritize inspections
All the information collected by the sensors is processed by CR:CLARITY, a platform that centralizes the CUI monitoring and helps to establish inspection priorities according to the evolution of risk in each asset.
This approach allows for the partial replacement of fixed inspection schedules with strategies based on the actual condition of the equipment, promoting a more efficient use of resources allocated to maintenance.
Predictive integrity management
According to Corrosion RADAR the addition of the CR:SR sensor expands the available options for adapting monitoring strategies to different types of industrial facilities.
The company maintains that the combination of continuous monitoring, data analysis, and artificial intelligence aims to strengthen predictive management of corrosion under insulation and provide operators with a more comprehensive view of the integrity of their assets. The goal is to facilitate better-informed maintenance decisions and help reduce operational risks through continuously obtained information.
