Delivery of Portable Corrosion Probes for Field Corrosion Monitoring！
Project Overview
In December 2025, EMT successfully delivered a batch of portable corrosion monitoring probes to a key customer in the oil & gas industry. These devices are designed for on-site corrosion rate measurement and real-time structural integrity monitoring of pipelines, tanks, and other metallic infrastructure.
The corrosion detection systems are housed in rugged protective cases for safe transport and long-term durability in field environments. Each unit integrates a digital handheld display, corrosion sensors, and connection cables, enabling fast deployment and accurate data collection in remote or industrial locations.
This project highlights EMT’s expertise in customized field inspection tools, non-destructive testing (NDT), and OEM corrosion monitoring solutions.
Client Background & Requirements
The client is a service provider specializing in pipeline maintenance, asset integrity, and corrosion control. Their projects span across refineries, chemical plants, and offshore platforms, where corrosion is a critical threat to operational safety and asset life.
Key requirements included:
Lightweight, portable corrosion monitoring systems
High-sensitivity corrosion probes with fast response
Easy-to-read interface for technicians in the field
Rugged, impact-resistant protective cases
Plug-and-play setup for multiple sensor types
Support for real-time corrosion rate analysis
Delivered Solution
EMT provided two types of portable corrosion probe kits designed for field use:
✅ 1. Portable Corrosion Monitoring System (Main Unit)
Digital LCD interface with simple navigation buttons
Real-time corrosion rate display (μm/year or mils/year)
Compatibility with ER (Electrical Resistance) and LPR (Linear Polarization Resistance) probes
Internal memory for offline data logging and export
Rechargeable battery with 10+ hours of operation
Multi-language software interface
USB and RS232 data output for PC analysis
✅ 2. Corrosion Probe Sensor Kit
Multiple corrosion sensors (packaged and sterilized)
Customizable for different materials (carbon steel, stainless steel, etc.)
High-accuracy pins and connectors
Fast-connect cables for easy replacement
Storage foam compartments to ensure sensor safety
Packaging & Field Readiness
Each system was packaged in a shockproof, waterproof transport case with:
Molded foam interior for instrument protection
Labeled compartments for cables, probes, and manuals
Anti-static sealed bags for corrosion sensors
Calibration certificate and quick-start guide
Units were fully tested and calibrated before shipment, ensuring that end users could immediately begin field measurements upon delivery.
Field Applications
These portable corrosion probes are now being used in:
In-service pipeline corrosion monitoring
Aboveground storage tank inspections
Equipment integrity checks in chemical plants
Offshore oil platform corrosion control
HVAC and water treatment plant maintenance
Their compact size, simple operation, and accurate readings have significantly improved the client’s field efficiency and preventive maintenance planning.
