As the detector only needs a probe installed on the outside of a pipe, the related analysis can be carried out at any point on the pipe in total safety (e.g. a kilometre upstream of a station). As a result, our interface detectors are commonly called <strong>information gathering hydrometers<\/strong>. However, they can in no way be used as official hydrometers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"block\"><div class=\"title\">Business sectors<\/div><div class=\"text\"><div class=\"text-container\"><p>\nFor companies that<strong> transport oil products using pipelines<\/strong>, it is vitally important to be able to monitor in-line the <strong>quality of the products<\/strong> being shipped or delivered and, even more importantly, to <strong>detect any changes<\/strong>. This technique is perfectly suited to <strong>refined products<\/strong>, such as <strong>LPG<\/strong> (liquefied petroleum gas), <strong>diesel, naphtha, petrol<\/strong> and <strong>aviation fuel<\/strong> (Jet A-1). Moreover, it could be suitable for use with crude oil and heavy oils and fuels.<\/p>\n<p>The use of ultrasound to characterise a medium is also relevant to the <strong>chemical industry<\/strong>, which could use this method to <strong>analyse a concentration<\/strong> or to correctly <strong>dose a mixture<\/strong>. For example, the speed of sound produces an interesting change in sulphuric acid at a concentration of between 75% and 100%. Similarly, ionized salt changes the speed of sound in water (+ 1 m\/s per g\/l for NaOH).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"block\"><div class=\"title\">The people who have already put their trust in us<\/div><div class=\"text\"><div class=\"text-container\"><p>\nWe have <strong>products<\/strong> all <strong>around the world<\/strong>, with assets including <strong>over 1,000 installations<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One of the major pipeline operators <strong>in France<\/strong> has been placing its trust in us for over 30 years, with more than 150 measuring points, exclusively in refined products, on\u00a08&#8243;-32&#8243; diameter pipelines.<br \/>\nWe also have numerous measuring points on refined products and storage facilities across the country, for example, in Le Havre, Harfleur and Metz.<\/li>\n<li><strong>In Europe<\/strong>, our equipment is recognised by NATO.
