Cormon new DCU2 corrosion monitoring range
Posted: 29 October 2003
Cormon have released their new DCU2 product range targeted at improving
the quality and effectiveness of routine corrosion monitoring activities.
The instrumentation raises the bar for performance of Electrical
Resistance instruments by an order of magnitude and will provide
a cost effective route to faster, better data.
DCU2 employs a similar platform to the company’s revolutionary,
patented CEION technology using standard ER probe configurations.
While less powerful than the full CEION implementation, the added
performance will undoubtedly support better corrosion management
while the use of standard ER probes will lower the cost and simplify
the introduction of new equipment to existing sites.
Both the transmitter and datalogger versions of DCU2 have a new
configuration method using a plugin module to set up the instrument
firmware and all external connectors are a new IP66 rated design
for severe service conditions including Offshore.
The logger units also feature compact sealed alkaline and lithium
battery packs. These changes have been introduced during the process
of certifying the range to the new European ATEX Directive for intrinsic
safety.
DCU2 is compatible with the existing HHU uploader unit used on
CEION data loggers. The HHU kit has been enhanced by the addition
of a rugged IP66 field transportation case and the supporting software
has also been upgraded to be compatible with both instrument types.
Among the products replaced is Cormon’s ground breaking ER
DCU data logging unit, first introduced in 1990, which revolutionised
the way corrosion monitoring data was collected.
The use of remote logging for the capture of probe data has since
become the standard method and the concept has been universally
adopted by other manufacturers.
It is fitting that this popular and successful instrument should
be replaced by one having equally mould-breaking performance.
