Cath-Tech is pleased to announce the Hexcorder Pro CIPS/DCVG/GPS pipeline integrity survey system has been presented with the NACE Corrosion Innovation of the Year Award 2019 at the recent NACE Corrosion 2019 Conference & Expo held in Nashville, Tennessee March 25 – 28 2019. Cath-Tech staff were thrilled to accept the honor at the opening ceremonies.
The Cath-Tech Hexcorder Pro is designed to provide state of
the art pipe coating condition data (DCVG) &/or pipeline cathodic
protection data (CIPS) with feature
rich graphics in the field, in real time. The Hexcorder may be operated
in numerous modes, DCVG only, CIPS only, combined DCVG & CIPS, multi-person
DCVG mode etc.
Units are readily available from stock with no special software required. The
Hexcorder Pro utilizes a ruggedized tablet for the display and keypad resulting
in an optimal user experience working with the Android based Cath-Tech survey
app. The app automatically updates
when connected to Wi-Fi so you’re always running the latest & greatest
version! The operator has the choice of viewing any two of 5 available
survey screens to display survey data. Survey data can be displayed as a graph,
numerically, as analogue gauges, birds eye view of the survey team or in real
time on maps! Data is exported to a computer as an ASCII comma delimited text
file via USB connection and may be graphed using Excel or similar spreadsheet
programs and is fully PODS compatible. The Hexcorder Pro is also Bluetooth
enabled to pair with Radio Detection and Vivax Metrotech pipe locators to
capture the depth of cover data and store it seamlessly correlated into the
survey data.
Each and every reading taken during a survey with the Hexcorder Pro is tagged
with Latitude, Longitude, Altitude, voltage gradient, PDOP, TR OFF, TR ON,
date, time, chainage and any operator inserted notes or comments.
The four key considerations regarding our instruments are:
1) Perform DCVG & CIPS simultaneously with all data gathered at the exact
same geographic locations at the exact same moment in time under the exact same
field conditions unlike doing two separate conventional surveys!
2) All equipment is fully GPS equipped, enabled and data integrated.
3) No special software required, you already own any software you need!
4) The Hexcorder Pro is built by corrosion engineers for corrosion engineers
specifically designed to do nothing but pipeline integrity surveys.

All Cath-Tech equipment is manufactured under strict ISO 9001:2015 quality control
standards and come complete with our industry leading comprehensive 2-year
warranty.
