Title: The Innovative Contributions of David F Laurence

Introduction

David F Laurence is an accomplished inventor based in Creve Coeur, MO (US). He is known for his significant contributions to the field of corrosion measurement technology. With a focus on practical applications, Laurence has developed innovative solutions that address critical industry challenges.

Latest Patents

One of Laurence's notable inventions is the cold end corrosion rate probe. This device consists of a corrosion rate meter probe that has been modified with the addition of a cooling jacket and a temperature measuring device, such as a thermocouple. The probe is designed to be flush mounted in an exhaust line or flue. A coolant, such as water, circulates through the jacket to bring the monitored gas to its dew point. At this point, a corrosion rate measurement can be made. The dew point is indicated by increased conductivity across two adjacent electrodes of the probe, specifically the reference and test electrodes. This invention allows for the correlation of corrosion rate measurements and dew point with sulfur trioxide concentration in flue or exhaust gases, enabling predictability of cold end corrosion occurrences and the effectiveness of inhibitors.
