In a pipe bend, erosion does not play by the rules - it can strike anywhere, at any time.

Under challenging flow conditions, erosion is rarely confined to one predictable location. Flow profiles shift, sand concentrations vary, and turbulence evolves, spreading wear across a broad area rather than a single point. This is where ClampOn’s Sand Monitor and Corrosion-Erosion Monitor (CEM) form the perfect monitoring partnership:

🔸The ClampOn Sand Monitor provides highly sensitive, real-time detection of sand production.

🔸The ClampOn CEM complements it by monitoring wall thickness across a large defined area, not just a single fixed point.

Together, they deliver complete sand-to-erosion intelligence.

Erosion is non‑uniform, shifting flow and sand distribution create wear across the entire bend.

Why does this matter?

Traditional single-point measurements risk missing the true erosion hotspot as conditions change. The ClampOn CEM uses advanced ultrasonic technology to continuously track wall thickness over the full critical zone.

The result:
• Comprehensive flow assurance insight
• Early detection of hidden wear, minimizing failure risk
• Greater operational confidence and uptime
• Stronger, data-driven decision-making

Do not leave your asset integrity to chance.

Choose ClampOn, monitoring that sees the whole picture, every time.
