Model 2520 fixed process probes are designed for particularly severe or toxic duty service, where retractable or fixed thread probes are not permitted by plant or other regulations. The all-welded construction of the cylindrical probe element provides the highest integrity for a corrosion measurement element. Only the material under evaluation is exposed to the process fluid. Even with any localized attack or physical damage to the element, the back of the probe provides process containment with high pressure glass-to-metal seals. For special service such as hydrofluoric acid (HF), which would attack glass seals, alternate/additional metal/teflon mechanical seals are available to ensure process containment. For other toxic processes, double rear seals are available with capability for monitoring for leakage between seals. Probes are available in a wide range of alloys and are custom made to the flange size and probe length required. Special seals are added if process conditions warrant. High temperature versions of the probes are available. Maximum pressure and temperature conditions are frequently limited by the standard flange rating rather than the CORROSOMETER® probe construction. In the case of the more exotic alloys such as titanium, Hastelloy, Monel, Incalloy or other alloys where materials and flanges are relatively expensive, refurbishing of the process side of the probe may be possible at the end of probe element life, subject to the condition of the other parts of the probes.
