Temperature is one of the most important controllable factors affecting corrosion rate, particularly in refineries, chemical and petrochemical process plants. A rule of thumb is that corrosion rates double for each 10 degrees C temperature ruse. The ability to track temperature and corrosion rate simultaneously is a powerful tool in the corrosion management of such plants. The CORROSOMETER® CORROTEMP® patented measurement probe series allows metal loss and temperature information to be collected simply at the corrosion monitoring location where it is important. By using a CORROTEMP® probe, you won’t have to spend time searching for a separate temperature measurement that may not even exist for the area you want to monitor. The temperature measurement has been incorporated into the probes using the same stand 6 pin connectors of the standard CORROSOMETER® probe range - no external separate connectors or special adaptors with additional pins are required. The originality of the design permits both local and remote monitoring to be accomplished with accuracy. The CORROTEMP® Combination models are distinguished from the standard CORROSOMETER® probes by adding a “T” after the series number. Apart from adding a “T” to the series number, the remainder of the model number is exactly the same as the standard CORROSOMETER® probe (refer to applicable data sheets for ordering by model number). RCS has the three instruments which read CORROSOMETER® CORROTEMP® probes, the Model CK-4, the CORRDATA® Mate II, and CORRDATA® Remote Data Collectors (RDC’s). With an adaptor, (RCS Part No. 748071), CORROTEMP® probes may be read with any 100 ohm Platinum RTD Thermometer (alpha = 0.00385), such as the Omega Model 868, 869 or equivalent.
