Abstract: An ultrasonic transducer for high temperature application forms part of ultrasonic wall thickness measurement system. The ultrasonic transducer has a modular design. The ultrasonic transducer has a modular design which enables the selection of piezoelectric element type based on field applications without changing the manufacturing process and redesigning of other components. A temperature sensor can be provided as part of the ultrasonic transducer. Methods of assembly are also provided.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to the monitoring and detection of corrosion and/or erosion of pipes, vessels, and other components in an industrial facility. The monitoring system may comprise of an arrangement of guided wave (GW) transducers and a longitudinal wave (LW) transducer affixed to the piping component to collectively measure for localized corrosion of the piping component without necessarily requiring a thickness map. The monitoring system may use an intelligent amplified multiplexer/switch to control the operation of the transducers that may be controlled and operated to generate waves in the kilohertz range and megahertz range with the same hardware.

Abstract: An ultrasonic patch transducer is configured to be secured to an outer surface of a structural asset, such as a pipe or pressure vessel, for condition monitoring. The ultrasonic patch transducer includes a housing defining a centerline between a first end of the housing and a second end of the housing, a piezoelectric element within the housing and positioned along the centerline, and at least two magnets within the housing and positioned along the centerline. The at least two magnets and the piezoelectric element are configured to be positioned along a tangent plane of the structural asset.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a leak sensor assembly which is configured to detect the leakage of gas from a component of a piping system. The leak sensor assembly includes a housing and at least one sensor. The housing is configured to be positioned proximate to the component and forms a pocket which allows gas leaked from the component to concentrate within the pocket in a generally uniform dispersion. The at lease one sensor is configured to detect the presence and concentration of gas within the pocket of the housing.
