Applications
Pipeline Integrity Management
Continuous monitoring of critical pipeline segments to detect early signs of material fatigue, corrosion effects, or environmental damage. Prevents catastrophic failures through early intervention.
Leak Detection Systems
Integration with comprehensive leak detection systems to provide pressure data for algorithmic analysis. Enables rapid response to potential leaks by identifying pressure anomalies in real time.
Flow Optimization
Provides essential pressure data to flow management systems, enabling optimal throughput calculations and pump station control. Helps balance system pressures to maximize efficiency and minimize energy consumption.
Transient Analysis
High-speed data acquisition enables detailed analysis of pressure transients and water hammer effects. Critical for understanding and mitigating the impact of operational changes on system integrity.
Regulatory Compliance
Helps meet requirements of regulations such as API 1130, PHMSA guidelines, and various international standards for pipeline monitoring. Comprehensive data logging provides audit trail for compliance verification.
Predictive Maintenance
Trend analysis of pressure data helps identify gradual degradation before it becomes critical. Enables condition-based maintenance scheduling instead of fixed intervals, reducing costs while improving safety.
