A robotic apparatus having first and second wheels with rollers coupled by a frame, third and fourth wheels with rollers circumferentially offset from the first and second wheels, and a clamping assembly coupled to the frame and configured to apply a force for urging the third and fourth wheels towards the pipe to secure the robotic apparatus thereon. Another robotic apparatus having first and second wheels with rollers on a first side of a pipe, third and fourth wheels with rollers on a second, opposing side of the pipe, and a clamping member coupling the first and second wheels to the third and fourth wheels and configured to apply a force for urging the wheels towards the pipe to secure the robotic apparatus thereon. The robotic apparatuses may have a modular design in which different sized clamping members/assemblies can be swapped out to accommodate pipes of different diameters.

A microwave resonator flame ionization detector assembly includes a microwave resonator disposed proximate a flame to evaluate an ion concentration in a flame effluent. A resonant frequency of the microwave resonator is detected, and a reflection coefficient of the resonator is used to determine an electric permittivity of a material in which the resonator is immersed. The electric permittivity depends on an ion concentration proximal to the resonator, and the ion concentration is related to the concentration of hydrocarbons present in the flame.

A hydrophone includes a body formed of a flexible, plastic material. The body includes a plurality of channels and each channel may have one or more wells. The wells are adapted to receive an active element which includes mounting hardware. The mounting hardware includes a soft, rubber grommet or other means which suspends the active element, thereby permitting the flexing of the body without introducing that motion to the active element.
