  • EMBEDDED WIRELESS CORROSION SENSOR
    Publication number: 20120007579
    Abstract: A corrosion sensor is disclosed. The corrosion sensor has a retainer and a microcontroller retained by the retainer. A length of antenna wire arranged in a wound configuration is retained by the retainer and connected to the microcontroller. A corrosion sensitive element is conductively connected to the microcontroller. The microcontroller is programmed to receive a power signal from the antenna wire and test for corrosion of the corrosion sensitive element. The he microcontroller is also programmed to transmit a signal indicative of the test results via the antenna.
