VTER Probe Systems
Variable Temperature Electrical Resistance (VTER) systems monitor the electrical resistance of a temperature controlled probe to enable corrosion rates to be calculated. This patented technology is suitable for both short or long term monitoring of corrosion rates in industrial and boiler plant.
VTEC Probe Systems
Variable Temperature Electrochemical (VTEC) probe systems are suitable for applications where rapid response takes priority over absolute corrosion rate measurments. VTEC probe systems monitor the electrochemical signals produced by the corrosion processes in aqueous environments.
VTC Probes
Variable Temperature Coupon (VTC) probe systems provide accurate corrosion rates together with morphological information at a low cost. These cumulative exposure probes are weighed before and after exposure to yield total metal loss information. We can supply a range of tubular and flush fitting probes to suit the particular application.
Probe Temperature Control Systems
All the above probes incorporate proportional temperature control facilities to air-cool the elements or coupons to better than ± 1ºC.
