Abstract
A system for monitoring a condition of an article including a conductive coating includes: a measurement device electrically connectable to the conductive coating of the article configured to sense an electrical property of the conductive coating; and a processor electrically connected to the measurement device. The processor is configured to: receive the sensed electrical property of the conductive coating from the measurement device; determine a resistance of the conductive coating based on the received sensed electrical property; determine an estimated remaining usable life of the article based on the determined resistance of the conductive coating; and generate an output signal representative of the determined estimated remaining usable life.
