ER: The Ratiometric Principle SAMPLE REFERENCE The ratio of sample & reference elements resistance is a measure of the corrosion affecting the exposed sample element by a reduction in its surface area and therefore increase in its resistance. The ratio Rs/Rr is converted to metal loss in the measuring instrument. The slope of the metal loss curve is the corrosion rate
ER Probes Can be used in all systems (Gas, Water, Oil) Can measure erosion Low sensitivity Thinner elements improve sensitivity At the cost of probe life. Typical Flush Probe (High Pressure System) showing F 20 (0. 5 mm thick element) Lifetime ½ element thickness
• ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE (ER)
• ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE (ER) Wire Loop Probe 1. 0 mm (40 thou’) element Lifetime ¼ of probe thickness

Linear Polarisation Resistance (LPR) Theory of Operation The theoretical basis of the LPR technique was founded in a publication dating back to 1957. In the LPR technique, a potential (typically of the order of 10 -20 m. V) is applied to a freely corroding sensor element and the resulting ("linear") current response is measured. The current measured in a conductive solution ie. , a continuous phase of water is proportional to the ‘corrosion’ current and is converted to corrosion rate by multiplying the measured value by a conversion factor depending on electrode size and electrode material
Probes Linear Polarisation Resistance (LPR) • Instant corrosion rates • Used in conductive systems • Can’t be used where oil is present • Can’t be used in gas systems Typical flush mounted 3 -electrode probe
• ACCESS SYSTEMS RETRACTABLE Flanged LPR assembly with protruding electrodes
