FOULING AND CORROSION DETECTOR FOR PROCESS CONTROL INDUSTRIES

摘要

A method for inferring possible or impending corrosion or fouling of process elements from fluid flowing in a pipe 18 of an industrial process is described. A frequency response of a body 28 is measured. The measured frequency response is compared against a stored value. Corrosion or fouling of the process elements is identified based upon the comparison, between the measured frequency response and the stored value.
