REMOTELY CAPTURE CORROSION GROWTH RATE WITH IMPROVED, MODULAR APPROACH
The CorTalk ERP1 is an improved peripheral that instantly turns a CorTalk RMU1 Coupon Test Station device into an enhanced, high-precision Electrical Resistance (ER) probe monitoring device.
The ERP1 collects and transmits highly accurate metal loss measurements from ER probes situated near the pipeline surface, as frequently as every hour, via satellite or cellular network. This provides technicians with detailed, near real-time data that is useful in determining the underlying cause of corrosion and measuring changes in corrosion conditions including the effectiveness of repairs, temperature cycle or sudden environmental changes.

| Features | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Fast, simple installation | The compact, weather-proof RMU1+ERP1 is designed to fit entirely inside a standard CP test station and can be installed in about 20 minutes |
| Established Electrical Resistance (ER) technique | Direct measurement data through insulation near surface of pipe to identify key events causing corrosion vis metal loss, corrosion rate and trends |
| Multiple functionality | Measure the ER probe potential when a reference cell is connected as the ER probe is typically electrically connected to the protected structure, the structure potential can be measured. |
| Intuitive controls and configurations | The RMU1-ERP1 can be easily programmed with our standard Programming Interface and a PC and can also be completed with a compatible iOS or Android-based mobile device and our available Bluetooth Interface |
| Global communication capabilities | Available with cellular or satellite communication capability, the RMU1-ERP1 can transmit data from virtually any location. This helps improve the quality and frequency of data collection, while reducing the need for workers to undertake long, potentially dangerous trips, to remote sites |
| Built to withstand the toughest conditions | Lightning, surge and overvoltage protection and broad operating temperature range (-40° to +60°C [-40° to +140°F]) |
| Long-life battery | User-replaceable standard AA battery provides up to 10 years of monitoring and data transmission and maximizes lightning isolation |
