EMERGING INNOVATION

PIPE WEAR INDICATOR

the latest inspection innovation for boom pipes

The cost of a boom pipe failure while in operation is high. It can bring your pour to a halt and put your operators in dangerous situations. You need all the tools available to monitor the health of your pumping system.

The Con Forms Pipe Wear Sensor detects internal wear at the impact zones most likely to fail. Unlike manual checks or yardage tracking, this technology shows pipe health during operation. The sensor is integrated into a standard coupling and is easily installed with no modification to your boom system.

Keep your operations running when performance matters most.

POWERED BY BEST-IN-CLASS, INTEGRATED SENSING TECHNOLOGY

Con Forms wear sensing technology is the first of its kind for boom pipes. The sensor operates while the piping system is running, providing real-time data in the actual environment where wear occurs. This sensor is not a replacement for regular inspections of your boom system. It is a visual reminder to operators of system wear and the importance of proactive inspection and maintenance.

PRODUCT Q&A

Why Should I use it?

Low cost insurance policy. Pipe failure is very costly; this is another tool to track the health of your system.

IS THIS A GUARANTEE AGAINST FAILURE?

No, this is a non-invasive tool to inform you on the health of your system. Pipe rotation, physical inspection and yardage tracking are still vital best practices.

HOW DO I INSTALL IT?

The wear sensor is built into a coupling. Any 148mm metric coupling not in a swivel location can be used.

WHEN TO REPLACE?

With a new boom kit or new pipe in that area. Note: after a pipe rotation, check the sensor gasket for function/damage before reuse.

What Will It DO?

A flashing green LED light confirms “Let’s go pumping”. When the sensor wears to 50-70% of its life, a fast-flashing red light will be triggered.
