(GE: Billerica, MA) –  Rightrax HT, the latest on-line corrosion monitoring system from GE Sensing and Inspection Technologies, provides accurate and reliable wall thickness data of pipes and vessels and is capable of operating at extremely high temperatures. Corrosion monitoring is extremely important for users in the oil and gas industry to elevate productivity, provide significant cost savings, and help ensure plant integrity.

“It is estimated that the cost of corrosion equals 3 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product, while the overall cost relating to oil and gas, power generation, and other key industries exceeds $150 billion annually,” explains Jim Costain, oil and gas marketing leader of GE Enterprise Solutions. “Industry estimates that 20 to 25 percent of these costs can be avoided by better use of existing monitoring technologies.
