ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE
Probe Guide
ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE probes and ER instrument are used for measuring
metal loss due to corrosion/erosion in process applications. Corrosion of the
exposed Sample element is measured as change in its electrical resistance. The
method is usable in almost any environment, being independent of the process
properties. However ER is not recommended for use in sour service if
conductive (iron sulphide) scales are likely to be deposited. Data is usually
presented as a uniform rate of metal loss for the period of interest in mpy or
mmpy.

THE TECHNIQUE
ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE MONITORING makes
use of the observation that the electrical resistance of
a sample having a fixed length will vary according to
its cross sectional area. this is expressed
mathematically as :
R= r
A independent of temperature.
where r is the natural resistivity of the sample, is the
length and A is the cross-sectional area. Corrosion or
erosion induced reduction in cross-section can
therefore be calculated from resistance change, as
natural resistivity is highly dependent on temperature
therefore, a method of eliminating the effect of
temperature changes is needed.
An element of identical material at the same
temperatures as the Sample but protected from
corrosion is used. Resistence readings of this
element are therefore always at the same natural
resistivity as the Sample and if the two resistance
readings are expressed as a ratio then changes in this
ratio represent changes in the sample cross section
To overcome the problem of probes having a lower
resistance then their connecting cables, separate
current and voltage measuring wires are employed.
When the element are energized with the same
current their resistance ratio can be determined from
the voltage ratio measured.

ELEMENT STYLES TUBULAR/CYLINDRICAL elements are robust and

Successful ER monitoring depends on correct
element selection. Process probes are available in
TUBE LOOP, WIRE LOOP, TUBULAR, FLUSH and
PITTING configurations.
TUBE LOOP AND WIRE LOOP elements are simple
and relatively easy to produce in a wide range of
materials at moderate cost. The elements are not
physically robust and maybe unsuitable for use in
high velocity, turbulent or high-solids environments or
inhere conductive deposits may occur.
reliable in volatile temperature or aggressive flow
situations. ER probes are glass welded sealed for
isolation from the probe body and the elements are
machined from a single billet so that galvanic
corrosion and weld corrosion will not effect the
performance.
FLUSH elements are used where conditions close to
a pipe or vessel wall are to be monitored or inhere
solids or pipeline pigging would damage projecting
styles.

Atmospheric and structural probes are derivatives of

this style.
PITTING PROBE elements are most often used
instead of flush types in sour service, as the product
flow around the element tends to limits deposition of
scale.
KS sales provide an advisory service on probe
selection by phone, fax or email. Please collect as
much of the application data as possible
(temperature, pressure, line diameter and wall
thickness, flow velocity, process composition) to
assist us to advise you correctly.

All order lengths must be given as whole numbers.
Note : for bottom of line monitoring allow clearance for probe in relation to pipe curvature.
PROBE CONSTRUCTION
The pressure integrity and fitness for purpose of
probes is priority. Standard probe bodies are made
from 316SS material and have glass sealed
connectors with silver plated pins. Materials are all
NACE MR-0175 and EN 10204 3.1b certified.
Sealing of the probe electrodes must be compatible
with the process composition, pressure and
temperature and KS cannot accept responsibility for
probe problems arising from any incompatibility. KS
can advise in this area. The sealing method is stated
in the product code tables, for example, FS is a flush
glass sealed probe. Although there are some
exceptions, epoxy resin probes are limited to 1500C
(2000C to order) while glass variants are suitable for
2600C.

The quality of ER data is dependent on selecting an
element of appropriate thickness, the ideal average
corrosion rate 1% of useful element life in two days
service. If conditions are changeable and it is
necessary to track changes with a more sensitive
element, a faster response will be obtained with a
thinner element but this may result in shorter probe
life overall. SEE TABLE for detail.

Sand is often produced with the hydrocarbons from a
sandstone reservoir and this damages both the
reservoir and the process plant unless it is adequately
controlled. Detection and measurement of sand is
possible with the sand monitoring system, using a
specially tailored metal loss sensor design with the
accurate instrumentation and a flexible software
package.
The system uses many standard corrosion-
monitoring items to reduce cost and promote
integration with a corrosion monitoring system.
The potential damage from produced sand is often a
sufficient threat to limit the rate of production. If
production is not constrained actual damage may be
caused in days, or even hours, with little warning. In
either case the lack of information about sand
production can result in loss of revenue. One key to
control is the continuous monitoring of the erosive
effect of the production. KS has unrivaled experience
in the measurement of metal loss in process
situations and has developed carefully selected
sensor materials to measure sand erosion.

The system gives a continuous on-line read-out;
essential when an early indication of sand
production is required. Only by relating events to
productions parameters can a full understanding
and control be established, erosion measurement
are independent of the noise which results from
slug-flow and multi-phase conditions The Probes,
which are installed in standard corrosion system
have vapor deposited corrosion system, resistant
allow elements able to achieve great sensitivity in
measuring metal loss when monitored by data
Collection Instrument (DCI).
PROBE SELECTION
Monitoring can be installed to detect the on set of
sand production where zero sand is the target
(detection). Detection requires a very fast
reacting design, so the detection layer consists of
only a few microns of gold laid onto a CRA
substrate.
For severe erosion applications where along
service life is required, a tubular element in CRA
placed across the flow may be selected. Custom
configurations are available to order.
INSTRUMENTATION
S6400 Sand Erosion probes are designed for use
the DCI Instruments series intrinsically safe ER
instruments. The transmitter output is made
available to a dedicated PC or DCS via a receiver
card module and barrier. S6400 probes are
suitable for integration with other corrosion probes
(ER, LPR & Galvanic) into online system.

Able to withstand turbulent flow conditions

D6300 Electrical Resistance (ER) probes are
designed to give information about the erosion/
corrosion relationship in a process environment by
allowing separate readings to be taken on the
upstream and downstream sides of the probe. Any
differential that is measured can be related to the
erosion monitoring with the ER uses a non- corroding
electrode material that ignores the interaction
between corrosion and erosion. The DUO method
being based on the material of interest is able to show
how the degree of metal loss caused by erosion due
to the combined effect
of corrosion and erosion (total metal loss) is related to
the effect of corrosion alone. The differential being
expressed as the ratio upstream loss to the
downstream loss or the DUO EROSION INDEX. This
is a much more realistic expression of contribution to
loss of wall thickness made of by erosion. By using
this information the optimum operating condition can
be identified. The DUO Probe takes advantage of
the ability of the DCI and KSHHU-ER instrument to
make measurements of the second electrode
combination within the probe by re-programming the
check feature.

When operating on automatic data logging the DCI
will collect the upstream data continuously as if
with a conventional ER probe. At the time that the
data module is retrieved a simple manual reading
is taken to provide the downstream reading so that
the relative metal loss figures can be compared.
DUAL ASPECT PROBE ELEMENT
When making measurement with the portable
KSHHU-ER both element are read and the DUO
EROSION INDEX calculated. DUO probes are
available with the either a long (4'') or short (2'')
electrode, and electrode material may be selected
from a wide range of options.
INSTALLATION
DUO probes must be installed in the correct
orientation so that the upstream and the
downstream division is at right angles to the flow.
In order to do this with a KS600 2'' access fitting
have provided a means for setting the electrode in
the correct orientation with the hollow plug after
they are made-up together using methods
developed for our Adjustable Flush Probe range.
CALCULATION THE DUO EROSION INDEX
The following readings have been taken from the
probe: Upstream 1.270 and Downstream 1.160.
These ratios must first be turned into metal loss.
This can be done by inserting the values into the
standard equation, referring to a quick reference
table. For this example on Upstream reading of
1.270 is equal to a loss of 4.04 mils and a
downstream reading of 1.160 is equal to 2.61 mils.
The DUO EROSION INDEX is calculated by
dividing upstream loss by downstream loss:
4.04
= 1.54
2.61
As well as providing the information that at this
location the effect of erosion is to increase normal
corrosion metal loss by about 50 %, it also provides
a useful value to compare with other locations and
with future values from the same location.

To calculate the order length for standard 5.25'' access fitting:

LINEAR POLARISATION
RESISTANCE
Probe Guide

General Guide KS Series Probe Information

The LPR technique allows the calculation of the corrosion current flowing
between anodic and cathodic half cells. Measurements are made by applying a
small voltage, usually between 10 and 30 millvolts, to a corroding metal
electrode and measuring the resulting current flow. The ratio of voltage to
current - the polarization resistance - is inversely proportional to the corrosion
rate.

APPLICATION

LPR monitoring provides an instantaneous
measure of corrosion and is often used as a
method for optimizing corrosion inhibitor
treatments. The technique is restricted to
conductive solutions and the best results are
obtained in highly conductive media. Data can be
presented as an instantaneous rate in mils per year
LPR is most commonly used when fluctuating
corrosion rates may be expected over short
intervals and inhere data on average rates
collected over a longer period may not be
sufficiently informative. For example: Cooling
Water System, Desalination Units, Waste Water
Treatment, Oilfield Water floods and Chemical
Cleaning.

A range of LPR Probe has been develop to meet different application including:
Series Description
KS600 Body mounting suitable for 2'' high pressure access fittings.
KS500 Retractable style 5/8'' body for use with packing gland.
L 300 Series Fixed length threaded bodies. NPT or BSPT male threads.
L 300 Series Adjustable length thread mounted bodies using swaged fittings NPT or BSPT.
L 300 Series Laboratory style plain bodies.

METHOD

LPR probes are configured in either 2 or 3
electrode styles. In the 2 electrode system a small
polarizing voltage is applied across the electrodes
and the resulting current flow is measured. The
current flow is governed by the resistence of the
two electrode/electrolyte interfaces and also the
resistance of the intervening solution. In the 2
electrode system no account is taken of solution
resistance, which may or may not be of
consequence. The 3 electrode system attempts
to minimize the effect of solution resistance by-
introducing a reference electrode adjacent to the
test electrode in order to monitor potential in the
solution with a view to reducing the relative
contribution of solution resistance to the series
resistance path. Even so, 3 electrode system may
still contain residual resistance which results in a
lower than actual corrosion rates reading. The 3
electrode system is recommended where high
corrosion rates are expected in low conductivity
solutions.

KOROSI SPECINDO Probe Series For LPR Monitoring

KOROSI Manufacture a range of specialized
probes for LPR monitoring in either Flush or
projecting electrode 2 or 3 electrode
configurations. Flush electrodes are set in either
epoxy resin or PEEK according to service the
ability of PEEK sealing to withstand difficult
process conditions is offset by a reduction in
electrode surface area, so PEEK seals are only
supplied to specific order.
KOROSI SPECINDO Projecting electrodes are
replaceable, being mounted on M3 (3mm)
threaded studs.
These studs are made of carbon steel and are
PEEK sealed in all probes except the laboratory
style (LB series). Projecting and flush electrodes
are available in a wide range of a materials.

Probe Construction
The pressure integrity and fitness for purpose of
probes is a priority. Standard probes bodies are
made from 316SS material and have glass sealed
connector with silver plated pins.
Material are all NACE MR-0175 and EN10204 3.1b
certified. Sealing of the probe electrode must be
compatible with the process composition, pressure
and temperature and KOROSI SPECINDO cannot
accept responsibility for probe problems arising
from any incompatibility.
KOROSI SPECINDO sales can advise in this area.
The sealing method is stated in this product code
tables, for example, FG is a flush glass sealed
probe. Although there are some exceptions,
epoxy resin probes are limited to 1500C (2000C to
order) while glass variants are suitable for 2600C
higher temperature applications usually require a
mechanical construction. If in doubt, contact
KOROSI SPECINDO sales for assistance. It is
important to give as much process information as
possible when seeking assistance with probe
selection.

1. To calculate the order length for standard 5.25'' access fitting:

P + W + 1. 25 = Order length
Where: P = Projection of device into pipe measured from pipe ID to tip of probe
W = wall thickness of pipe in inch
Note : For Access Fitting over 5.25'' add 1 inch for each inch of additional height
Example : 8'' Schedule 80 pipe P = Sensor probe on middle of line, 4 inch
W = 0.5 inch wall thickness
Length of Projecting probe = P + W + 1.25
= 4 + 0.5 + 1.25
= 7 inch

necessary to measure corrosion flush with the pipe or
vessel wall. This is particularly important for bottom
of the line monitoring location where corrosive fluids
can accumulate and in lines subject to pigging
operations. The larger element surface area
provides more consistent data than smaller element
designs. Adjustable Flush probes with a variable
length are useful for obtaining an exact match with -
Pipe wall thickness or as a spare part to cover several
different locations. For 5.25" access fitting two
standard lengths cover all possible pipe size and
schedules from 3" to 20". Refer to table below to
select 1.25" or 2" length. For longer probes use the
"Flush" calculation method and other as the shortest
length allowing a maximum of 35 mm extension.
Probe adapter are required to make the cable
connection to the probe.
