A data resource specific to a pipe coupling centrally positioned within the coupling, intermediate the coupling ends. A top surface of the nitride layer is then exposed to a second source. A block is adjustably mounted to a cross-member of the machine to press the front wall inwardly to insure that the angle where the front wall joins the bottom wall of the trough is approximately ninety degrees. The sensing portion communicates with at least the controller and the portion of the system and is adapted to detect the deposit. The system and method may continue to monitor the device and thus provide real-time data.
