Abstract
The steel panel with an integrated corrosion sensor is a steel panel having an integrated sensor for monitoring dissolution of a magnetite layer during acid cleaning of the steel panel. The steel panel has an opening formed therethrough, and a hollow insulator is secured to the steel panel within the opening. The hollow insulator is formed from an electrical insulation material and electrically isolates the steel panel from a steel core, which is mounted within the hollow insulator. A reference electrode is positioned near the steel panel. A voltmeter is electrically connected between the reference electrode and a first surface of the steel core. An opposed second surface of the steel core has a layer of magnetite formed thereon. An alarm is in electrical communication with the voltmeter, such that the alarm generates an alarm signal when the voltmeter detects a corrosion potential at a preset threshold potential.
