Monitoring

HELIX Sensor Wrap

A patent-pending flexible sensor sheet that installs permanently on a pipe or vessel and monitors it in real time. The same area coverage as a screening visit, running continuously after the crew leaves.

  • Tileable and one size across assets: the same wrap tiles across pipe diameters and asset types, with no per-deal sensor engineering
  • Flexible-PCB construction, designed for roll-to-roll manufacture
  • Continuous wall-thickness and wall-loss monitoring, with co-located temperature sensing to compensate every reading
  • Feeds HELIX Horizon: readings land on the 3D asset model and drive the probabilistic wall-thickness forecast

Honest limits

The installed wrap trades range for permanence: its wall-thickness range is narrower than the handheld instrument, and readings require the wrap's co-located temperature compensation. For certifications, contact HELIX.

The rest of the range

Screening, not certification. HELIX screening prioritises where to look next and does not certify to any code scheme. Fitness-for-service remains a regulated engineering assessment carried out by your engineers. Individual technical specifications (HLX-SPC series) are available on request.
