METHOD OF TEST OF DESTRUCTION RATE OF CONCRETE AND FERROCONCRETE STRUCTURES BY CORROSION Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: monitoring of corrosion rate of concrete and ferroconcrete structures exposed in process of use to attacks of corrosive environment. SUBSTANCE: method of test of destruction rate of concrete and ferroconcrete structures by corrosion consists in positioning of concrete samples coming in the form of cubes inside structures. Indicators are located inside samples and held in flow of corrosive medium running over them. Inside cube there are arranged cruciform dielectric elements on which indicators made in the form of current-conducting strips are set in orthogonal triangles formed by lines connecting base of cube with its geometric center, in parallel to bases of triangles. Rate of corrosive destruction of structure is determined by signals coming from indicators to test equipment. EFFECT: increased accuracy of measurement of corrosion rate of concrete and ferroconcrete structures with remote measurement of indices of corrosion rate. 6 dwg
