Abstract
A method of predicting behavior or a degradable device of a borehole tool when deployed downhole including introducing a test mass of material identical to the material of the degradable device to the same general location and at a time near to when the degradable device is deployed, removing the test mass from downhole, determining characteristics related to degradation of the test mass, and predicting degradation behavior of the degradable device based on the determined characteristics.
