Product headline |
The sensor enabling primary element corrosion inspection, available as compact or remote device version. For steam applications with high chloride content (SAGD) aligned with AER Directive 017 Guidelines. |
Sensor features |
Compliance to AER – enables customer to fulfil inspection requirements. Higher process control – unique inspection concept allows visual assessment of primary element. High process safety – resistant to intergranular stress corrosion cracking. Sensor made of carbon steel. Material for low medium temperatures. |
Transmitter features |
Convenient device wiring – separate connection compartment. Safe operation – no need to open the device due to display with touch control, background lighting. Integrated verification – Heartbeat Technology. Display module with data transfer function. Robust two‐chamber housing. |
