Abstract: The present disclosure provides a device for predicting corrosion in a tubular element that receives hydrocarbons. The device includes a housing, a first sensor, and a location tracking device. The first sensor is partially within the housing and detects one of first physical, chemical and electrical signals of a fluid within the tubular element at a plurality of locations within the tubular element. The location tracking device is within the housing and operatively connected to the first sensor. The location tracing device determines an axial and circumferential position of the first sensor at each of the plurality of locations.
