INSTANTANEOUS CORROSION RATE MEASUREMENT

THREE METHODS OF MEASURING CORROSION RATE ARE DISCUSSED. THE COUPON METHOD IS THE LOWEST IN COST AND THE SLOWEST. THE ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE TECHNIQUE IS INTERMEDIATE IN TERMS OF SPEED, AND ITS COST IS COMPARABLE TO THAT OF LINEAR POLARIZATION--BOTH METHODS BEING HIGHER IN COST THAN COUPONS. LINEAR POLARIZATION IS THE NEWEST AND LEAST USED TECHNIQUE. IT IS INSTANTANEOUR AND OFFERS MUCH PROMISE FOR FUTURE WORK. /AUTHOR/
