Abstract
Apparatus, systems, and methods for progressive corrosion detection are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a query generator to query a multiplexer channel to receive an output voltage, the multiplexer channel linked to a fin group of an electrode array, the fin group forming an open circuit in the absence of conductive crystal formation, a quantifier to determine, using a reference voltage, a difference between the reference voltage and the output voltage from the queried multiplexer channel, and a contamination level comparator to identify presence of conductive crystal formation based on the difference between the reference voltage and the output voltage.
