The instrument can be used to log multiple transducers from a common connection point, to provide periodic time and date stamped measurements of wall thickness, or for more critical applications. It can automatically collect and store continuous measurements from a single transducer.

UltraCorr® is ideally suited to form the backbone of an ICDA asset integrity system for pipeline operators. Sensors are permanently attached to the exposed surface in areas such as low lying spots, drips on other locations where corrosion should be monitored. After backfilling, the sensors are read from the surface by way of attached cables. The high resolution of UltraCorr® enables pipeline operators to detect changes in corrosion rates and readjust accordingly scheduled reassessment intervals to suit. Repeat excavations are unnecessary, and the guesswork about reinspection intervals is removed.

Typical measurement time per transducer is a few seconds. The user can program the UltraCorr® instrument to collect data from as many as 50 transducers, or alternatively, it can be programmed to collect up to 1,024 data points from one transducer at programmed intervals. Operation is made very simple by a series of user prompts shown on the LCD display. A rugged package along with extended battery life provides maximum versatility for the corrosion technician.

The software included with the instrument facilitates the transfer of data to a PC for analysis and permanent storage. UltraCorr® is also compatible with the CorrData® Plus (for Windows®) software used with the industry favorite CorrData® Remote Data Collection System.
