Abstract
A system for measuring corrosion includes a first electrode configured to be connected to a first structure and a second electrode configured to be connected to a second structure. The first and second structures are galvanically-coupled together, and the first and second structures are made of different materials. A chamber is configured to run through one or more cycles while the first electrode, the first structure, the second electrode, and the second structure are positioned inside the chamber. A measurement device is configured to receive data from the first and second electrodes and to measure one or more parameters based at least partially upon the data. A level of corrosion on the first structure, the second structure, or both is configured to be determined based at least partially upon the one or more parameters.
