General Details

Hydrosteel® 6000 – Fast, Reliable Hydrogen Flux Spot Measurement

The Hydrosteel 6000 hydrogen flux monitor is the ultimate portable tool for sour HF and high temperature corrosion and diffusible hydrogen damage in steel.

The intrinsically safe hydrogen flux monitor is totally non-intrusive and requires minimal test surface preparation. Consumables such as grease are not needed and reliable measurements can be made within a minute.

Measurements can be taken from small pipes and large vessels at any orientation and any temperature up to 500 °C (932 °F) with a single probe.

Features
  • Rapid, reliable and repeatable measurement of hydrogen flux
  • Operates on steel up to 500 °C
  • Accommodates surfaces from 3.5″ diameter to flat
  • Operates in any orientation, e.g. at base of pipe and vessels where corrosion commonly occurs
  • Portable, light-weight
  • Simple to use
  • Intrinsically safe
  • Totally non-intrusive
  • Little or no test surface preparation needed
  • No consumables such as adhesives, liquids or greases required
