Measuring atmospheric corrosion of industrial infrastructure using electrical resistance corrosion sensors

SUMMARY: Sensors for the measurement of atmospheric corrosion of industrial infrastructure have been developed based on the electrical resistance technique. These sensors have been designed to measure corrosion over an extended time period without compromising measurement accuracy. Field trials are currently underway at a number of locations at 5 different test sites on the East coast of Australia. The results obtained to date at these test locations, which represent a broad range of corrosive environments, will be presented and discussed.
