A procedure and a device for determining corrosion of preferably insulated structural parts (2) assures in a simple way early detection of corrosion. For this purpose an electric conducting resistance wire (4) exposed to the same corrosive medium, e.g. condensation water, as the structural part (2) to be examined for corrosion is placed outside the structural part (2) and the electrical resistance of the resistance wire is measured. The effective cross-section of the resistance wire (4) and its electrical resistance change with the corrosion of the resistance wire (4) so that the resistance change of the resistance wire (4) registers the effect of the corrosive medium.
