SMS Enhances Acoustic System Reliability with New Sensor Health Verification Tool

In conjunction with its 20th and 10th anniversaries in the United Kingdom and Malaysia, SMS proudly introduced an advanced service to verify the health of acoustic systems. With over two decades of expertise in sand monitoring and erosion-corrosion solutions, SMS has earned a reputation for expertise and reliability in these fields. This latest enhancement further empowers clients with high-precision monitoring for robust asset protection.

The Sand Gecko is an innovative tool designed to evaluate the integrity of acoustic transducers, identifying units that have failed or show critical signs of wear. Unlike standard Acoustic Sand Monitoring (ASM) which might produce inconsistent results influenced by factors like sandpaper type, applied force, sensor distance, and surface coatings - the Sand Gecko provides fast, consistent, and accurate readings in just five minutes. This solution eliminates ambiguity, giving clients full confidence in the condition of their sensors.

This marks a significant advancement over traditional methods, and directly addresses common industry concerns," says Andrew Kinsler, SMS Operations Director. "With this solution, we aim to provide a clear benchmark to indicate transducer performance. Beyond a simple pass or fail, we deliver a detailed analysis that adds insight and value, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of sensor health.”
