MAKING CREDIBLE CORROSION MEASUREMENTS- REAL CORROSION, REAL TIME

摘要

Corrosion monitoring has traditionally employed sensor designs that are suited to measurement of general corrosion. This is typical across the entire range of industrial plants and processes, in both laboratory research and field monitoring. The development of new approaches to monitoring of localized corrosion has necessitated the design of a range of electrochemical corrosion probe designs that can most accurately reflect the behavior of the material in the real-life plant situation. Flexibility in design, coupled with accuracy and sensitivity of measurement, has proven key in solving many corrosion problems. Supported by field corrosion monitoring data, this paper reviews cases of monitoring "real corrosion" in "real time".
