A sensor sheet that stays on the pipe.
A HELIX sensor wrap conformed and strapped to a pipe section, with its sensing elements against the wall
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.
Readings land on the 3D asset model and drive the probabilistic wall-thickness forecast: a corrosion rate per location, and a date against the replacement level with a confidence range.
Co-located temperature sensing compensates every reading, so a hot afternoon does not read as wall loss.

The wrap, read as wall thickness: green where the wall is sound, red where it is thin.

Each coil reads the wall beneath it. The sheet conforms to the pipe.

Sensing coils
Each coil reads the wall beneath it.
Flexible printed circuit
Tiles across pipe diameters and conforms to the pipe.
Electronics
Reads every coil and sends the readings to HELIX Horizon.
Live wrap pilot
A sensor that stays on the asset turns a record of the past into a forecast: wall loss seen in time to act, and the repair planned into the next maintenance window.

Hours
Reading interval from the live Sensor Wrap pilot: 4,800 readings in 8 hours. HELIX monitoring is screening, not certification, and does not replace a code-required inspection. It tells the owner where and when to send one.
Start a pilot
01
An elbow, a spool, or wherever your last inspections found the most wall loss.
02
The wrap goes on externally. The first full-surface reading becomes your baseline.
03
Keep your normal inspection cycle. When it next runs you have two numbers for the same steel.
04
A measured degradation rate for that location, and a basis for deciding whether to expand.
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.
