Hydrogen Flux Monitoring
Welcome to the Hydrogen Flux pages of our website dedicated to our Hydrosteel technology.
About Hydrosteel
The Ion Science Hydrosteel product range is an advanced portfolio of instruments designed in-house specifically for hydrogen flux detection and monitoring on steel surfaces.
Hydrogen permeation through steel is a direct result of corrosion by sour gas, cyanidic ammonium bisulfide, HF, naphthenic acid and high temperature high pressure water. Hydrosteel hydrogen flux measurements at external face of equipment in corrosive service is rapid and non-intrusive, often providing the only practical assessment of active internal corrosion, such as under salt deposits where intrusive probes are inoperable, or at high temperatures, where alternative technologies are immovable or unreliable. Hydrosteel is used to monitor the effectiveness of corrosion control by process or chemicals over time periods of hours to days. It is also used in the assessment of the risk of damage to steel associated with hydrogen induced cracking (HIC), especially in sour systems.
Hydrosteel technology is available in three distinct variants:
- Hydrosteel 6000 - a portable roaming tool for spot flux measurement
- Hydrosteel 7000 - a fixed monitor at highly critical sites
- Hydrosteel TL - a transportable light weight monitor
