<p>A corrosion sensor for sensing the effect of pitting corrosion to a structure is disclosed. The sensor comprises a stacked arrangement of two metallic layers, and a porous dielectric layer interposed between the metallic layers. In use of the sensor, a first metallic layer of the two metallic layers is exposed to corrosive media such that, on formation of a corrosion pit in the first metallic layer, electrolyte ingress into the porous layer will change the conductivity between the two metallic layers. The metallic layers can be connected to electrical measurement apparatus in order to detect the change in the conductivity between the first and second metallic layers</p> |
