Elcometer 1001 Corrosion Under Insulation Gauge - Discontinued
Discontinued Product – for servicing use only
Pipeline failure through corrosion under insulation causes supply shortfalls, economic loss and environmental pollution. Early detection of the presence of moisture significantly reduces the risk of corrosion developing underneath pipeline insulation.
The Elcometer 1001 detects and identifies the location of any fluid leak on thermally insulated pipes, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, preventing corrosion and reducing unplanned repair and maintenance costs.
