ProblemsProblems
Internal and external corrosion can occur at many places along pipe or plateDetection of corrosion using periodic inspection techniques are time consuming and can often occur only during plant shutdownNew technology is needed to detect corrosion in the early stages using a monitoring process without shutting down the plant This process needs to be low cost and provide long-term capability

Technical ApproachesTechnical Approaches
Install torsional wave magnetostrictive sensor (MsS) at a corrosion-sensitive region on a pipe or plate and obtain baseline data
Periodically test the pipe or plate with a guided wave using MsS
Compare new data with the baseline data and find any changes using a suitable algorithm.
