The Corrosion Coulometer-A New Corrosion Monitor for Steel Structures

Authors: M. L. White; H. Leidheiser Jr; LEHIGH UNIV BETHLEHEM PA ZETTLEMOYER CENTER FOR SURFACE STUDIES
Abstract:
A new type of corrosion coulometer has been developed to incorporate corrosion products and airborne contaminants in the system to simulate actual conditions in local microclimates within or in the vicinity of a steel structure; it operates as a galvanic cell when wet and uses a microcoulometer to store the electrical output, although instantaneous voltages and/or currents may also be monitored; laboratory monitoring of successive wet/dry cycles and exposure on the roof of a building at Lehigh University for 20 weeks showed excellent correlations with corrosion of adjacent steel panels and the cell with a lifetime of at least four years.
