The O-ring provides a secondary seal and
protects the bore threads from unnecessary exposure
to the system's fluid.
Like the Caproco hollow plug, the threads on the
solid plug which mate with the access fitting body are
right-handed, while the threads at its base are left-
handed. This arrangement of right and left-handed
threads has a tendency to screw the monitoring
device or retaining nut to the solid plug during the
extraction process, which ensures that the functional
parts of the monitoring device are not lost during this
operation.

Protective Covers
GENERAL
Caproco offers a range of protective covers
designed to protect the exposed threads on access
fittings from mechanical damage, dust, dirt and
moisture.
Several types of covers are available: Heavy
Duty, Heavy Duty Pressure Containing and Dust.
Within these categories are a variety of design
options to satisfy any field application.
HEAVY DUTY COVER
The heavy duty cover is threaded internally to
mate with the access fitting body. The heavy

Retractable Access Fitting
Assembly
GENERAL
The Caproco standard retractable access fitting
assembly provides access to systems operating at
pressures up to 1,500 psi, eliminating any need for
system shutdown in order to obtain vital corrosion
data.
The design of the low pressure access fitting
assembly allows the installation, removal and
maintenance of a wide range of probes, coupon
holders and reference cells to be accomplished in a
safe and easy manner.
APPLICATION
The stuffing box contains a Teflon packing to
ensure a proper seal, and locking ferrules to hold the
monitoring device in position during operation.
The union provides a method of releasing
pressure trapped above the closed valve and also
eases change-out of the monitoring equipment.
All monitoring devices come equipped with an
integrated blow out preventor that prevents the
monitoring device from coming completely out of the
access fitting.
For safety and ease of operation, the use of a
Caproco Low Pressure Retractor is recommended for
systems operating above 300 psi. Various sizes of
retractors are available; the size required is
dependent on the maximum length of probe or
coupon holder to be used.
TEE OPTION
Caproco offers a tee retractable access fitting that
incorporates a bleed nipple option. The nipple,
available in either threaded or socket welded
configurations, permits the operator to depressure the
access fitting assembly after retraction and drain any
trapped fluid safely to a suitable containment
location. The bleed option also acts as a safety
backup, allowing the operator to verify that the
primary valve has contained line pressure before
loosening-off the union.

Retriever & Service Valve
3,600 PSI
GENERAL
The Caproco Retriever and Service Valve are
designed to install and retrieve internal corrosion
monitoring equipment within an operating system while
under full working pressure (up to 3,600 psi / 24.8 MPa).
A 6,000 psi (41.4 MPa) model is also available. The key
components to the Caproco Retrievable System, the
Retriever and Service Valve are versatile tools with a
proven history of reliable and safe performance in field
applications.
Both the retriever and service valve have been
specifically designed for the purpose of retrieval under
pressure through a 2" access fitting body, and
incorporate many features to ensure that the equipment
may be used safely, swiftly and without difficulty.
RETRIEVER
The retriever's main components are manufactured
from stainless steel, and receive a chroming treatment
for resistance to mechanical / corrosion damage and to
ensure many years of reliable service. Seven standard
sizes of retrievers are offered to cover most service
requirements, while custom-ordered sizes are available
upon request.
The retriever works on a pressure-balanced
principle. This safety feature ensures that in the event of
sudden pressure release from the system, the retriever
will not telescope.
The Caproco retriever is designed to operate strictly
under mechanical principles, and the number of turns to
completely seat or retract a component is a known
constant. This allows the operator to have complete
control over installation or removal, and is a distinct
advantage over other models of retriever / access
systems.
SERVICE VALVE
The service valve’s compact length of 9" (23 cm)
makes it easy to handle and store. One of its safety
features is its two bleed valve design. One valve bleeds
to atmosphere and supplements the bleed valve on the
retriever, ensuring that the pressure within the assembly
may be released. The second bleed valve bypasses the
service valve's ball, which allows pressure in the
retriever assembly to build up smoothly, preventing the
assembly from being unnecessarily shocked. This also
allows the ball of the valve to be opened easily, since
the valve seats are no longer under load.

High Pressure Hot Tap
Drilling Machine (3,600 PSI)
GENERAL
The Caproco High Pressure Hot Tap is a
specialized tool designed to bore into a fully-
pressurized pipe or vessel (up to 3,600 PSI / 24.8
Mpa) via a high pressure access fitting. Once the
hole is drilled, the access fitting can be used as an
entry point where internal corrosion monitoring
equipment can be exposed to the operating system.
The hot tap tool is used in conjunction with the
Caproco Retriever and Service Valve.
The drilling machine offers a safe and reliable
means of drilling a clean hole without distortion. Its
design provides ample cutter-travel to allow hot
tapping through all standard access fitting lengths and
pipe wall thicknesses. The cutter can be driven
manually with a rachet-type socket wrench, electric
motor or air-driven motor.
APPLICATION
The procedure that is followed when an access
fitting is attached, tested and hot tapped under
pressure, is outlined below.
The first step is to determine the wall thickness
of the vessel or pipe (an ultrasonic thickness tester
may be used), ensuring that the cutter length of the
hot tap is sufficient to penetrate the pipe wall
thickness.
The access fitting is then welded onto the
structure and the weld is pressure tested using the
hydrostatic test assembly.
The hot tap hollow plug is threaded into the
access fitting and tightened using a spanner wrench.
The drill is now lowered to the surface wall and a
clean hole is cut by turning the drive nut, either with a
socket wrench or by connecting a motor.
Once the drilling is complete, the drilling machine
can be detached from the hot tap hollow plug and
taken off the access fitting, leaving the hollow plug in
place to maintain the seal. The Caproco Service
Valve and Retriever is attached to the access fitting,
and the hot tap hollow plug is removed. The access
fitting is swabbed and flushed, and a normal solid or
hollow plug and monitoring device can be installed.

reach, the high pressure drilling machine may be used
for a variety of applications.
APPLICATION
The procedure that is followed when an access
fitting is attached, tested and hot tapped under pressure,
is outlined below.
The first step is to determine the wall thickness of
the vessel or pipe (an ultrasonic thickness tester may be
used). The access fitting is then welded onto the
structure and the weld is pressure tested using the
hydrostatic test assembly.
The service valve is threaded onto the access
fitting and the hammer nut on the valve is tightened
using a brass hammer. When the service valve is
installed, a check should be done to verify that the bleed
valves are closed and the service valve itself is open.
The drilling machine is then attached to the service
valve and the hammer nut on the drilling machining is
tightened with a brass hammer. At this point, an
important feature of the Caproco high pressure hot tap
may be utilized. Before drilling commences, the whole
assembly may be pressure tested, using a back
pressure pump and diverter hose. This feature ensures
the safety of operators as well as preventing the
possibility of hazardous material spillage.
The drill is now lowered to the surface of the
structure and a clean hole is drilled. A step- type drill is
supplied for more accurate hole placement and ease of
drilling. In addition to the step-type drill, Caproco offers
other types of drills and cutters for special applications.
When drilling is completed, the drill bit is simply raised
above the valve, which is then closed. The bleed valve
The hot tap machine is strongly recommended
when installing access fittings on un-pressurized
locations (cold tapping), for example at the pipe/system
fabrication stage, to avoid any difficulties in improper
alignment. An adapter for the machine to attach directly
to an access fitting is available for this purpose.

conditions along the pipe wall. By locating the
access fitting at the bottom of the line (6 O’Clock)
position, the access fitting acts like a liquid trap, so
that the second coupon measures conditions of
trapped liquids. This allows operators to measure the
effects of any standing liquid or “low spots” in the line.

GENERAL
The multiple disc coupon holder assembly offers
the same advantages as standard disc coupon
holders, with the added advantage of multiphase
monitoring. Multiphase monitoring becomes important
in a system where line conditions may promote non-
uniform corrosion rates.
Multidisc coupon holders can be used to monitor
a variety of locations, such as:
1. Top of line dead gas trap
2. Flush with pipe wall
3. Top of line
4. Middle of line
5. Bottom of line
6. Bottom of line - dead liquid trap
7. Special position requirements
Combinations of any of the above positions may
be ordered to suit a particular situation.

Flanged Electrical Resistance
(ER) Probes

integrity electrical resistance probes which provide an
accurate electronic measurement of the corrosion
rate.
Caproco flanged ER probes are available in
Tubular, Wire Loop, Tube Loop or Flush Mounting
element designs. The probe body is welded into the
flange, exposing the element to the corrosive media
and leaving the electrical connection easily accessible
to take readings.
APPLICATION
Flanged probes are designed to be used in
systems where change-out under pressure is not
required. The system must be depressurized to
install and/or service the probe, but readings can be
taken from the probe without process interruption. A
fixed flanged probe is recommended when the
desired access to the system is through an existing
flanged fitting, or where access space is limited.
SPECIFICATIONS
alternative materials upon request.
Flanges are available in Raised Face (RF) and
Ring-Type-Joint (RTJ) configurations, and meet ANSI
or API specifications. They are available in stainless
steel, carbon steel or alternative materials. Flanges
with special requirements can be machined to
customer specification.

Electrical Resistance
(ER) Signal Transmitter
GENERAL
The Electrical Resistance (ER) Signal
Transmitter is a field instrument designed to gather
and transmit data from ER Probes mounted in the
process system. This 2 wire, 4-20 mA output signal
transmitter is suitable for use with most types of ER
probes.
It is ideal for connecting multiple monitoring
points into a Distributed Control System (DCS) or
dedicated receiver, which can then be linked directly
to a control room, offering centralized monitoring
capabilities.
Supplied in a NEMA 4 weather and explosion
proof enclosure, the ER Signal transmitter is designed
to operate and communicate on a 24 Volt, isolated
power supply via a single twisted-pair cable. This
eliminates the need for a heavy interface cable.

GENERAL CONNECTION Interfaces with the Caproco LPR

Analyzer and most other
commercial LPR monitoring
integrity linear polarization probes which utilize a 3
instrumentation, via a MIL
projecting element configuration to measure the rate
of corrosion.
LPR Probes provide the user with a direct,
instantaneous measurement of the corrosion rate
based on the linear polarization resistance technique.
A qualitative pitting tendency can also be obtained for
the metal and the electrolyte being studied. LPR
probe elements are replaceable once they have
corroded past their useful life.
APPLICATION
The Caproco Linear Polarization Resistance
probe offers the advantage of fast response to
changes in corrosive conditions that exist in the
system being monitored. This rapid response allows
the operator to evaluate the process changes and
inhibition program, and make necessary adjustments.
SPECIFICATIONS
Caproco LPR probes are manufactured from 316
stainless steel with standard AISI 1018 mild steel
elements. Probe bodies and elements are available in

Hydrogen Monitoring
Probes
GENERAL
integrity hydrogen probes which utilize a measuring
head and sensing element configuration to measure
the level of hydrogen present in a system.
Hydrogen probes are composed of three
components: measuring head, hollow plug assembly
(retrievable) or probe body (fixed) and sensing
element. The sensing element is comprised of a thin
walled tube, designed to simulate a material
delamination or inclusion.
APPLICATION
When the hydrogen sensing element inserted into
the process stream begins corroding, hydrogen
generated by the corrosion reaction will permeate
through the wall of the tube. Measuring the pressure
in the tube will indicate hydrogen buildup; the rate of
pressure increase is proportional to the corrosion rate.
Hydrogen probes are available in retrievable,

Hydrogen Monitoring
Probe Patch / Saddle
GENERAL
Caproco offers a high integrity hydrogen probe
which utilizes a non-intrusive design to measure the
level of hydrogen present in a system.
The probe is available in two configurations. The
first is a patch unit which is a probe body welded
directly onto the pipe. The second option is a saddle
assembly, which consists of a saddle probe which is
welded onto the pipe.
Both styles are designed to capture hydrogen
permeating through the pipe wall and channel this
gas into the electronic or mechanical measuring
head. The probe is designed to simulate a material
delamination or inclusion which may be present in the
pipe or vessel under study, as well as monitor the
production of hydrogen produced from corrosion
activity.
APPLICATION PATCH PROBE
When the patch / saddle probe is affixed to the

pipe, any hydrogen generated by an internal
corrosion reaction will permeate through the pipe wall,
be trapped by the patch body and be detected by the
sensing element. The saddle mount design consists
of a probe body of similar radius to the pipe being
monitored, which creates a tight seal once it is welded
onto the pipe. The saddle design offers a larger
surface area in which gas may be captured.
Measured output is related to the ambient hydrogen
concentration, which can then be used to calculate an
approximate rate of corrosion.
The Caproco patch / saddle hydrogen probe
provides an instantaneous and non-destructive
measurement of the hydrogen levels present in a
system. The probe is maintenance-free due to the
fact it has no moving parts, and its non-intrusive
design makes it ideal for systems that undergo
pigging.
SPECIFICATIONS
Caproco patch / saddle probes are typically
manufactured from material similar to the piping
being monitored. Assemblies are available in
alternative materials upon request. The patch /
saddle assemblies are designed to be welded onto
the pipe.

systems that reduce the areas at risk from flow Temperature (260"C)
erosion. Flows are streamlined to avoid impingement
and areas that are recognized as receiving heavy or
turbulent flow are constructed using face-hardened
materials. However, in some types of processes,
especially those that carry sand in suspension in the
product flow, erosion is an unavoidable concern.
Caproco sand probes installed in these critical areas
can reduce the risk of erosion-caused failures.
APPLICATION
The Caproco sand probe is exposed to the
process flow through a high pressure assembly which
includes the sensing element, sand probe nut, solid
plug and access fitting assembly, This mounting
assembly ensures line integrity is maintained even
after the element is penetrated.
In use, the effect of sand or abrasives eventually
erodes through the sacrificial sensing element,
exposing the sealed assembly to the working
pressure of the line. System pressure is then directed
through ports in the sand probe nut to the tee portion
of the access fitting body. Once there it passes
through a nipple/valve assembly and registers upon
either a pressure gauge or a remote alarm / shut-in
pressure assembly.
Caproco sand probes elements are available in
two designs. Projecting elements expose a larger
surface area to the system while flush design is

operators with a clearer understanding of the
corrosive conditions present in the underground
environment and provide feedback on the
effectiveness of cathodic protection systems.
The probe utilizes the electrical resistance
technique of corrosion monitoring. The ER element
is comprised of a thin walled tube, machined from a
single length of bar, which overcomes any
requirements of welding the element. Resistance
readings from the sensing element are relative to a
non-corroding reference element sealed within the
probe body.
APPLICATION
Designed to be directly buried in pipeline
trenches or under storage tanks, the Caproco soil
probe is completely sealed to prohibit the ingress of
moisture, ensuring its reliability and performance.
Each probe is supplied with a grounding cable and
when connected to the cathodic protection system via
a test post, or directly to the pipe or structure, the
effectiveness of the cathodic protection system can
be determined. To monitor the corrosivity of the
environment without the effect of a cathodic
protection system, the grounding cable is left
unconnected.
SPECIFICATIONS
Caproco soil probes are manufactured with a
phenolic body and an AISI 1018 mild steel element.
Probe elements are available in alternative materials
upon request. The standard soil probe comes
complete with a 10 ft (3m) cable (extra lead lengths
are available up to 1,000 ft (300m). Two types of
sensing elements are available.

Probe Adaptors
GENERAL
Caproco offers a range of probe adaptors and
extension cables that provide the connection between
electronic probes and their corresponding
instrumentation.
The most common type of adaptor is the Caproco
probe extension adaptor, used with the high pressure
access system. This adaptor works with Electrical
Resistance (ER), Linear Polarization Resistance
(LPR) and Galvanic probes.
APPLICATION
The probe extension adaptor connects to the
probe through the hollow plug, and extends up past
the top of the access fitting. This allows for easy
connection to a monitoring instrument or transmitter.
Caproco instruments come supplied with a
standard 4 foot (1.2 m) extension cable; custom
length cables are available by special order.
Retractable and fixed probes do not require probe
extension adaptors.
Caproco also offers an array of adaptors allowing
the connection of probes to different types of
instrumentation, such as 6 pin MIL to 5 pin MIL.

Standard probe extension adaptors are
manufactured from 316 stainless steel.

Flow Deflectors
GENERAL
Caproco wire loop and tube loop electrical
resistance (ER) probes come supplied with standard
flow deflectors, which are also available as an option
for ER tubular probes. Flow deflectors serve three
primary functions:
• protect the element from physical damage,
such as a collision with hydrates or other
particles in the line
• preserves element life by blocking most of the
media flow from eroding the probe element
• allows for the attachment of corrosion
coupons with the addition of a flow deflector
with an integrated coupon holder
APPLICATION
Flow deflectors are available for either normal or
high velocity flow environments. Threaded so that
they can be attached to the probe body around the
element, the cylindrical flow deflector body has
perforations in a pattern that disperses the flowing
media, allowing only a small percentage to reach the
element at a slower rate, permitting a reading to take
place.
In situations where both electronic and coupon
corrosion monitoring is desired at a single point,
Caproco has designed flow deflectors with integrated
coupon holders.
SPECIFICATIONS
Standard flow deflectors are manufactured from
AISI 1018 mild steel or 316 stainless steel, and are
also available in alternative materials upon request.

Retractable
GENERAL
The Caproco retractable injection/sampling
system consists of a low pressure access fitting
assembly through which an injection tube or quill is
inserted. Where applicable, a nozzle may be fitted to
the tube for injection purposes. Injection/sampling is
done through a shut off valve at the end of the
tube/quill. An optional check valve is available to
ensure that the fluid in the system does not back flow
to the injection equipment if for any reason the
pressure in the injection system falls below the line
pressure.
The standard Caproco retractable injection or
sampling assembly is comprised of the following
components:
• Low Pressure Access Fitting Assembly
• Shut Off Valve
• Safety Clamp Assembly

APPLICATION
The biofilm probe is designed to be mounted
flush in the pipe wall, with the probe face of five studs
exposed for accumulating bacteria. The flush design
gathers samples of the microbial activity present in
residues along the pipe wall, and is useful in locations
which are regularly pigged.
The exposed stud samples are analyzed through
the use of the Caproco Hydrogenase Test Kit, and the
results can be quantified by the Caproco MIC
Analyzer Instrument.
Caproco biofilm probes are used in testing for:
• Anaerobe and sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB)
• Aerobes
The biofilm probe samples can also be used in
common testing techniques such as epifluorescence.
The Caproco MIC system allows operators to

evaluate the effectiveness of implemented biocide
treatments in controlling bacterial- induced corrosion.
The sampling system is designed to avoid
erroneous readings taken due to accumulation of
dead bacteria on the stud. This is a common problem
that can be found with other biofilm probes on the
market.

the sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). This type of
bacteria uses an enzyme, hydrogenase, to extract the
energy of the corrosion process for their metabolic
activities.
This results in localized corrosion in the form of
pits and for some bacteria, the production of H2S and
iron sulfide deposits.
Present test procedures have concentrated on
identifying the presence of certain marker organisms
such as SRB in water and deposit samples. It has
recently become apparent that determining the
influence of bacteria in corrosion cells should be
based on a measure of the activity of the organisms
rather than their absolute numbers.

Hydrogenase Test Kit.
The Caproco MIC Analyzer utilizes modern
digital electronic techniques to provide greater
sensitivity, reliability and accuracy.
Rapid test results(usually within 2 hours) are
available on the digital LCD screen, and results are
provided in three formats:
• Micromoles of Hydrogen Uptake per Minute
The level of Hydrogen uptake is directly related to
the bacterial corrosion activity.
• Micrograms of Iron Oxidized per Minute
The amount of Iron being oxidized by the bacteria
equals a corrosion rate related to bacterial
activity.
• Micrograms of H2S per Minute
The production of H2S is a by-product of the
bacterial corrosion process and can cause
severe problems to many systems. This result
indicates the amount of H2S being produced by
bacterial activity.
The analyzer connects via a cable to the
Hydrogenase test kit anaerobic chamber. Once the
readings are complete, the three results can be
scrolled through at the push of a button. The
instrument’s hand-held size and weight make it
convenient to use in both a laboratory or in the field.

associated with all types of underground piping,
• number of leads
cables and other metallic structures.
• length of leads
Standard Caproco test posts are available in • wire gauge
plastic or wood, with different options of wiring • wire color
configurations, caps and junction boxes. They are
simple to install, and the terminal board and cap are
typically of bright color to provide high visibility.
Operating Temperature -60"F to +250"F
APPLICATION Range ( -51"C to +121"C)
Test posts can perform a variety of functions in

terms of potential measurement, such as:
• underground structure-to-soil potentials
• cathodic protection anode currents
• resistive integrity of insulation flanges and
joints
• insulation integrity between structures, such
as between a carrier and its casing
• stray currents on underground structures
Test posts also serve as the connection between
sacrificial anodes and the underground structure.
SPECIFICATIONS
The standard Caproco test post is made of
injection molded polycarbonate plastic, with high
impact strength and UV protection to ensure durability
in prolonged exposure to sunlight and harsh
environments. Plastic posts are non-corroding and
have a reduced shock hazard.
Wooden posts have heads (or junction boxes)
available to fit ¾”, 1¼”, 2" and 3" diameter conduits.
