Simple Multi-Step Clamp and Sensor Installation

Sensor Networks is pleased to announce our new clamps for microPIMS monitoring systems. The new clamps are either band or magnetic and compatible with Ultra-High-Temp and Corrosion Dual microPIMS. The simple installation process allows for increased speed and safety when installing corrosion monitors in hazardous environments. Here are the steps for installation:

Step 1 – Clean and smooth the surface

 

Step 2 – Place clamp around pipe

 

Step 3 – Tighten the T-Bolt

 

Step 4 – Remove the probe cap and slide on the top bracket. Replace the cap to secure the bracket.

 

Step 5 – Place a drop of glycerin on the face of the probe

 

Step 6 – Place couplant foil on the face of the probe

 

Step 7 – Carefully lower the probe face into the bracket hole. Apply pressure so the couplant foil is squeezed between the probe and the pipe surface.

 

Step 8 – Tighten down the hex head bolts

 

Success! – Correct tightness can be evaluated by the quality of the signal, thickness, and temperature reading. Additional tightening may be required.

Enhancing Efficiency and Safety: Xcel’s Nuclear Sites Harness the Power of JAWS 2.0

Foreign Objects Search and Retrieval (FOSAR) is a critical task in nuclear power plants, and having efficient tools like the JAWS 2.0™ is paramount to ensure safety and operational efficiency. Xcel’s nuclear sites, Monticello and Prairie Island, recently integrated the JAWS 2.0 ultimate kits into their FOSAR capabilities. These kits proved their effectiveness during routine maintenance at Monticello’s Spent Fuel Pool.
