Abstract
A system for monitoring and measuring the corrosion reaction of metals in an environment. The system includes a sample corrosion element of substantially the same material as the structure to be monitored, a galvanic cell for generating an electric signal indicative of the corrosion on the corrosion element, and a monitor for receiving and storing the generated signal. Moreover, the system is designed to incorporate corrosion products and environmental contaminants in order to simulate actual, localized conditions on a particular area of a structure.
