Corrosion Solutions Monitoring
Ongoing monitoring of corrosion is necessary to maintain a healthy sprinkler system. Besides MIC corrosion, oxygen corrosion is also prevalent in fire sprinkler systems. Evidence of extreme levels of corrosion exists especially at the air/water interface at the high points of systems.
Monitoring the sprinkler system can be accomplished by installing a Corrosion Monitoring Station (PCMS-RM) on the fire sprinkler riser on wet, dry or pre-action systems. The PCMS-RM uses removable corrosion coupons, which allow you the option of sending the coupons to a laboratory for analysis or simply viewing them through the site glass built into the device. Draining down and shutting off your system is not a requirement. You will be able to constantly monitor your fire sprinkler system for corrosion right at the base of the riser.
Utilizing the Potter Corrosion Monitoring Probe (PCMPK) saves you money by triggering a supervisory signal when it is time to replace the coupons and send them in for analysis. The probe can last up to 5 years in low corrosion conditions.
