Chapter 1 - Introduction to Thickness Monitoring

1.1 What is Meridium Thickness Monitoring?
Meridium Thickness Monitoring is used to document, manage, and analyze data that is
associated with the physical plant equipment. Inspection data management is a critical
component to understanding the current condition of plant equipment. An accurate
understanding of current equipment condition is critical to analyzing the reliability and
future availability of equipment.
Meridium Thickness Monitoring allows you to define TMLs Groups and then collect
measurements for those TMLs in the context of various maintenance events. It provides
functionality to collect and manage equipment inspection data in a format that can be
easily analyzed by the Meridium analytical tools.

Page 2
1.2 Meridium Thickness Monitoring
From a high level standpoint, TM has four main functions:
Manages TMLs Group and thickness measurement data for fixed equipment
Calculates Short and Long Term Corrosion Rates
Calculates Next Inspection and Projected T-Min Dates
Interfaces with data collection devices
1.3 Dataloggers
Meridium Thickness Monitoring supports handheld data recorders manufactured by
Krautkramer Branson and Panametrics. TMLs can be easily uploaded from the Meridium
database to a datalogger. In turn, measurements can be easily downloaded from a datalogger to
the Meridium database.
1.4 Minimum Thickness Calculator

The Minimum Thickness (T-Min) Calculator is designed to automatically calculate the
minimum thickness for certain type components. The T-Min value is used to determine a
components Corrosion Rate, Remaining Life and Next Inspection Date.
The T-Min Calculator is available for Piping, Pressure Vessels, and Tanks. It is compliant with
industry accepted standards, ANSI B31 (Piping), API 653 (Tanks), ASME Section VIII, NBIC
NB23, API 510 (Pressure Vessels).
Using the T-Min Calculator, corrosion rates are determined using both standard and
customizable formulas. Calculations are based on Long Term, Short Term, or Least Squares
weighting methods. Calculation results reveal the Next Inspection Date and the Projected T-Min
Date, indicating when TMLs should be inspected.
Thickness Monitoring supports the automatic notification of work requests based on userdefined thresholds, so that measurements and readings trigger notifications of needed work to
the appropriate personnel.

Chapter 3 Using Dataloggers

3.1 Data Collection Devices
Meridium Thickness Monitoring enables direct communication between supported data

collection devices and your Meridium database. This is done by creating a device
mapping, which maps the data that is to be sent to and received from the data collection
device.
Which data collection devices are currently supported?
The following devices are currently supported:
Krautkramer DMS
Krautkramer DMS2
Panametrics 26DL+
Panametrics 36DL+
Panametrics 37DL+
The Fluke DPC will be supported in an upcoming release.
How do dataloggers interface with the Meridium database?

Technicians complete the following steps to collect and save thickness measurements:
Connect the datalogger to the appropriate COM port of the PC
Upload data regarding selected TML to the datalogger
Use datalogger to collect measurements for the selected TMLs
Connect the datalogger to the appropriate COM port of the PC
Download measurement data to the PC
Review measurement data for accuracy and save it to the Meridium database
Corrosion Analysis is performed and results are updated
Note: At this point, if you are going to use an actual datalogger in this lesson, then
connect it to the appropriate COM port of your PC. If a datalogger is unavailable, your
instructor will demonstrate the lessons that follow.
