  • Corrosion monitoring apparatus
    Patent number: 4915910
    Abstract: The apparatus comprises a stack of corrosible members retained in position by a support, and measurement means, for example a dial gauge, arranged to measure any change in the height of the stack when exposed to a corrosive environment. Electrical potentials and/or mechanical stress can be applied to the stack in order to ascertian the influence thereof on corrosion.
