Keeping Corrosion at Bay: A Tale of Two Monitors

In the world of industrial maintenance, corrosion is the lurking villain, waiting to wreak havoc on equipment and infrastructure when least expected. But fear not, for we have two heroes stepping up to the plate: the Purafil OnGuard 4000 (OG4) Atmospheric Corrosion Monitor and the Corrosion Classification Coupon (CCC). Let's dive into the realm of corrosion monitoring and see how these gadgets can save the day!

Understanding Corrosion Monitoring

Corrosion monitoring isn't just about detecting rust; it's about predicting and preventing the gradual deterioration of metals due to environmental factors. Both the OG4 and CCC offer insights into corrosion levels, but they do so in different ways.

The OG4: A Real-Time Sentry Against Corrosion

Imagine having a trusty sidekick constantly whispering updates about corrosion levels in your facility. That's precisely what the OG4 does. Equipped with Copper and Silver sensors, this monitor measures corrosion rates in real time, allowing you to nip corrosion in the bud before it escalates into a costly catastrophe.

How Does the OG4 Work?

The OG4 employs Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) sensors coated with copper and silver. These sensors detect even the slightest corrosion film, providing accurate readings at or below one part per billion (1 ppb). With an internal data logger accessible via the internet, tracking corrosion trends becomes a breeze.

Benefits Galore with the OG4

Picture this: No more sudden equipment failures or unexpected downtimes. The OG4 not only alerts you to impending corrosion but also helps you track peaks and trends, empowering you to take preventive action proactively. Plus, its low maintenance design and compliance with RoHS standards make it a hassle-free solution for corrosion woes. To know what RoHS is, Click here.

The CCC: A Silent Guardian of Air Quality

While the OG4 patrols the realm of industrial facilities, the CCC silently safeguards environments like museums, libraries, and clean room manufacturing sites. With its passive reactivity monitoring technique, the CCC provides crucial data on air quality, essential for preserving artifacts and sensitive equipment.

How Does the CCC Protect Your Precious Artifacts?

Installing CCCs in various environments is similar to placing agents to watch over priceless treasures. After a 30-day installation period, the CCCs are collected from the field and returned to Purafil’s laboratory for analysis. The purpose of CCC analysis is to determine the type and thickness of corrosion films on the surface of each metal coupon. A normalized 30-day reactivity rate is calculated using the amount of time the metal coupon is exposed and the thickness of the corrosion that has formed.

Customer Benefits of the CCC

Museum curators, manufacturers, and facility managers rejoice! The CCC offers a cost-effective means of assessing air quality, ensuring compliance with environmental standards, and safeguarding valuable assets. With scientifically supported results and hassle-free installation, peace of mind comes standard with the CCC.

ISA Environmental Classes: Airborne Contaminants

ANSI/ISA-71.04-2013 standard states that rooms containing backplane wired equipment, instrumentation, process control systems or computers, must have a G1 environmental classification, defined in terms of corrosion thickness as:

Choosing the Right Monitor for Your Needs

When it comes to corrosion monitoring, one size doesn't fit all. While the OG4 excels in industrial settings with its real-time monitoring capabilities, the CCC shines in environments where subtle changes in air quality can make a world of difference.

Final Thoughts

Whether you're battling corrosion in a bustling factory or preserving priceless artifacts in a museum, having the right monitoring tools at your disposal is paramount. With the OG4 and CCC by your side, you can stay one step ahead of corrosion, ensuring the longevity of your assets and the smooth operation of your facilities.
