Integrated Cleaning and Inspecting Pig (ICIP): Part 2 – Proximity Sensors (2 of 2)
*(20 Min Read – Technical)* This write-up demonstrates that inexpensive inductive proximity sensors can be used to construct inexpensive inspection tools. Commercial proximity sensors have a proven track record of operating in harsh environmental conditions. They have high shock and vibration resistance. They are chemical resistant and resistant to short circuits. The sensors we used…
