CORROSION PROFILING AND DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM

摘要

The corrosion profiling and monitoring system (25) comprises a metallic corrosion detector (28) and at least one other metallic corrosion detector (29) for sensing levels of corrosion at different locations and generating an uncorrected signal from each corrosion detector (28 and 29), calibration and correction algorithms (30 and 31) for converting the uncorrected signal from each of the metallic corrosion detectors to a corrected signal representing true corrosion, a comparison step (32) for comparing the amount of measured corrosion from each of the corrosion detectors, and a data logger (34) for storing the compared values of the amounts of measured corrosion. Such information is indicative of the spatial fitness profile of a system subject to deterioration induced by its environment.
