Abstract
A method and system of assessing a condition of a boiler is disclosed. The assessing of the condition of the boiler establishes a baseline resistivity of a boiler waterwall for a first location of the boiler waterwall under a known temperature condition. A resistivity of the first location is measured under another temperature condition. The measured resistivity for the first location is compared to the baseline resistivity. A condition of the waterwall of the boiler is determined based on the comparison.
