The petrochemical industry is among the most demanding industrial environments. Plants often operate continuously and under extreme mechanical, thermal and chemical loads. Even small geometric deviations on piping, weld seams or connection elements can lead over time to efficiency losses, increased maintenance effort or safety relevant risks. Accordingly high are the requirements for accurate and reproducible measurement technology.
3D laser profile sensors enable contactless capture of profiles, contours and geometric transitions even under harsh environmental conditions. Sensor solutions from AT Sensors are designed for industrial use and deliver stable measurement results independent of surface condition, ambient light or vibrations.
Typical applications in petrochemicals include profile and geometry inspection of piping, contour control of weld seams and transitions, dimensional inspection of vessels and structural components, and position control during assembly and maintenance processes. Even with large scale components and complex plant structures, measurement data can be captured reliably and in real time.
The result is continuous geometric monitoring that increases process safety, makes maintenance measures more predictable and makes an important contribution to the operational safety of petrochemical plants.
