An electrochemical corrosion potential sensor includes a sensor tip electrically joined to a conductor, and a ceramic insulator joined to the tip around the conductor. A sleeve is joined to the insulator around the conductor, and is electrically insulated from the tip by the ceramic insulator. The insulator has an exposed surface axially separating the tip and sleeve, and a ceramic coating is bonded thereto for preventing dissolution of the insulator by reactor water. In a preferred embodiment, the ceramic insulator is sapphire, and the ceramic coating is yttria-stabilized-zirconia or magnesia-stabilized-zirconia which may be plasma sprayed over the insulator. |
