EuropCorr Sacrificial Sand Probe, Fixed

Erosion-corrosion occurs in flowing fluids carrying sand, silt, precipitated salts or other solids, which thin or remove the protective layer and greatly increase metal loss. EuropCorr sand probes are a simple and robust way to detect significant erosion in high-velocity flow lines.

The sensing part of the sacrificial sand probe is a thin-wall steel tube (generally 1 mm) inserted into the flow line. When sand or solids have eroded through the tube, line pressure reaches a sensing device (pressure gauge, or pneumatic or electric sensor connected to the control room), giving early warning of critical metal loss.

The fixed sand probe has two threads: one to fit a threadolet of maximum 1", the other to connect a pneumatic or electric pressure sensor. Process connections can be customised (sizes and male or female styles). The general assembly comprises the threadolet, sand probe, equal tee, bleed valve and pressure gauge or alarm.
