Embedded sensors for inspection of corrosion under insulation

绝缘下的腐蚀是石油和天然气行业最严重、最昂贵的问题之一，每年的维修成本、检查成本、绝缘拆除成本和工厂停机时间高达数十亿美元。如果绝缘下的腐蚀没有被发现，可能会导致工厂被迫关闭，在某些情况下还会发生安全事故。根据该项目，Inductosense将开发一种原型无线、无电池传感器，该传感器可以永久嵌入绝缘层下，以定位和表征管道表面的腐蚀。

Corrosion under insulation is one of the worst and most expensive problems for the Oil & Gas industry with repair costs, inspection costs, insulation removal costs and plant downtime running into the billions of dollars annually. If corrosion under insulation goes undetected it can lead to forced plant shutdown and in some cases a safety incident. Under this project Inductosense will develop a prototye wireless, battery-free sensor that can be permanently embedded underneath insulation to locate and characterise corrosion on the surface of pipes.
