Corrosion Monitoring

Corrosion monitoring is the process of watching for the onset and progression of corrosion in a fluid-based system in order to prevent catastrophic problems resulting from corrosion-related failure. The process is very common in the marine industry, in off-shore oil drilling platforms, and in fluid piping systems where the risk of corrosion is high and the impact is expensive. Due to the wide range of applications for corrosion monitoring, a wide range of solutions, measurement methods, and sensors exist.
