Large manufacturing facilities are under intense pressure to comply with jurisdictional inspection regulations, protect their employees and the environment, and avoid costly fixed equipment failures. Understanding the current condition of equipment that contains or manages process medium is key to minimizing safety and environmental risk as well as unplanned failures.

Meridium's Thickness Monitoring module provides the capability to manage large-scale corrosion and thickness monitoring programs for stationary equipment such as piping, vessels, exchangers, tanks and boilers.   Key capabilities of the Thickness Monitoring module include the ability to calculate the minimum thickness required to safely operate the equipment, thickness measurement data management, and corrosion rate analysis, as well as next-inspection and retirement-date calculations.

Additional Meridium Thickness Monitoring features include:

• Thickness Monitoring Planning and Scheduling
• Corrosion Analysis and Summary
• T-Min Calculator
  • Calculated T-Min
  • Nominal T-Min.
  • Reference T-Min
  • User-Defined or Custom Equation
  • User-Defined T-Min
• Thickness Measurement  Location (TML) Management
• Thickness Measurement Data Collection
• Ultrasonic Thickness (UT) Device Interfaces
• Plots and Trends
  • Asset Analysis Plots
  • Thickness Monitoring Location Corrosion Plots

With Thickness Monitoring, Meridium provides industry standard API calculations and measurement management capabilities to determine and monitor stationary equipment condition. Meridium provides seamless integration with many UT (ultrasonic thickness) field testing devices manufactured by Panametrics and Krautkramer Branson to ensure maximum safety and reduced risk of equipment failure.
