Installed Ultrasonic Sensors
GE’s Rightrax™ LT and Rightrax HT systems are changing the way that critical corrosion data is measured and managed. This breakthrough technology helps
increase safety and productivity while reducing overall inspection costs. The Rightrax system uses permanently-installed sensors that permit remote monitoring
of restricted, hard-to-access and/or high-temperature areas up to 350°C (662°F). Once tted, the system provides continuous real-time access to corrosion data
via direct & acquired wall thickness data, eliminating the need to erect scaolding, remove insulation or shut down plant systems. Online monitoring also reduces
labor-intensive traditional inspection routines by providing data that can be used for proactive maintenance planning.
• Non-intrusive inspection—Sensors simply bond or are clamped onto the
inspection area
• Remote locations—Oshore platforms (manned and unmanned), remote
pipeline sites or inaccessible areas
• No scaolding or rigging costs—Once installed no need to revisit the site
(t & forget)
• Early warning systems—Software provides trending, warning and alarm
information with data on demand
• Accuracy—Measurement repeatability to 0.2 mm (0.008”) (low temp) or
0.0025 mm (0.0001”) (high temp)

Before After Risk Reduction
• Operator safety—Eliminates the need to send operators into hazardous
environments or remote locations to carry out wall thickness monitoring
• Increased asset integrity—The application of monitoring techniques can
easily be justied when you consider the consequences of internal wall
loss:
• Improved outage planning
• Minimize unscheduled shutdowns
• Eliminate hazard to personnel
• Reduce probability of environmental issues
• Enhanced API-RBI protocols
