<p>A subsea monitoring device comprises a metal part (12) disposed in a polymeric sheath (11,14), and means (10) for providing a sensible indication of pH at an interface between the part and the sheath. The part may be the metal shell of a connector. When a cable (13) extends from the connector, adjacent the connector the cable would be covered by the polymeric sheath. The said means (10) may comprise a chemical indicator and the sheath is preferably sufficiently translucent to allow visual observation of the indicator. The chemical indicator may comprise phenolphthalein.</p> |
