    摘要: The graphitization of a sample having a sample surface and bulk material adjacent to the sample surface is determined with a housing holding a potentiometer and a processor connected to the potentiometer. The processor receives electric potential measurements from the potentiometer at the sample surface and uses the electric potential measurements to quantify the graphitization of the bulk material adjacent to the sample surface to generate graphitization data for output.

    摘要: A system for detecting the formation of a crack in a metal joint includes an electrochemical electrical current detection device. Carrier material surrounds the metal joint, at least partially, with conductive media having electrolyte therein. An auxiliary electrode is in electrical contact with the carrier material. The placement of the auxiliary electrode in electrical contact with carrier material forms a passive layer on the metal joint. The formation of a crack in the metal joint ruptures the passive layer to generate a current for detection by the electrochemical electrical current detection device.

    摘要: A plurality of disparate datasets is aggregated into a geodata data structure specifying a plurality of geospatial locations and a set of aspatial parameters at each geospacial location. Each aspatial parameter is combined at each geospacial location to generate a corrosivity scale parameter at each of the plurality of geospatial locations. A grid with cells representing each of the plurality of geospatial locations and each of the corresponding corrosivity scale parameters is created. The grid is stored for output of at least a portion of the plurality of geospatial locations and the corresponding corrosivity scale parameters overlaid on a geographic map. The innovation can be used in corrosion risk assessment of underground structures related to oil and gas, water/waste water and electric power transmission/distribution structures.

    摘要: A non-destructive testing apparatus generates an electric current in a test coupon that is adjacent to the metallic structure. The non-destructive testing apparatus measures the electric current to produce at least one electric current measurement. The non-destructive testing apparatus correlates the at least one electric current measurement with the quantity of a predetermined iron oxide in the test coupon to determine a proxy for the degree of alternating current interference corrosion in the metallic structure.
