Abstract: An electrode component group for a corrosion measuring system for detecting corrosion of a metal embedded in a construction component of ion-conducting material has a rod-shaped base body having a first flange member at a first end of base body and a second flange member at a second end of base body. The base body is insertable into the construction component with the first end leading. A plurality of spacer rings is positioned on the base body between the first and second flange members. The metal electrode rings and sealing rings are arranged alternatingly between the spacer rings. Each one of the metal electrode rings have an electrical line connected to a measuring circuit external to the construction component. The electrical lines are guided inside the metal electrode rings to the second end of the base body. A device for reducing a spacing between the first and second flange members is provided.

Abstract: A corrosion measuring cell for establishing the start of corrosion and/or for measuring the degree of corrosion of structural or reinforcing steel, which is embedded in a concrete structural part, has a corrosion-resistant cathode electrode, and several ordinary steel anode electrodes spaced from one another at different distances from the external surface of the concrete structural part.The anode electrodes are each connected to a cathode electrode through a current-measuring device which measures current due to corrosion at the anodes in order to establish the temporal course of carbonatization or chloridization taking place in the concrete. The connections may be switched between the measuring device and a polarizing device which polarizes the anode electrode in such a manner that the corrosion current, and thus the corrosion of the anode electrode, stops when desired to avoid damage to the concrete.
