Corrosion monitoring in archives by the electrical resistance technique

Abstract It is essential that corrosion monitoring of indoor atmospheres should be highly sensitive, especially, when corrosion rates corresponding to the lowest standard corrosivity categories are supposed to be identified within one or a few days. The electrical resistance technique in combination with high-sensitivity electrical resistance sensors enabled detection of a corrosion loss on an atomic scale. Case studies have demonstrated the sensors’ ability to timely inform the users about changes in the atmosphere quality. In confrontation with quartz crystal microbalance technique, resistometric sensors provided better explainable data.
