Abstract

See full text

A method monitoring a corrosion of a device includes conveying an electrical current through a monitoring component. The monitoring component includes a replaceable consumable electrode embedded in an electrolyte and disposed onboard and in electrical communication with the device. The electrode is configured to degrade before the device corrodes. The monitoring component includes a sensor disposed in electrical communication with the replaceable consumable electrode and the device. The sensor is configured for detecting a degradation of the electrode. After conveying, the method includes sending a first signal from the sensor to a storage medium. After sending the first signal, the method includes sending a second signal from the storage medium to a communication device to thereby monitor the corrosion. A monitoring system and a method of monitoring a corrosion of a plurality of joints of the device are also described.
