Abstract
The present application provides corrosion prevention devices comprising a sacrificial anode and a mass sensor and corrosion prevention devices comprising a controller in communication with the mass sensor and sacrificial anode. The controller can be configured to receive mass data to detect when the mass of the sacrificial anode has fallen below a predetermined threshold. Upon determining that the mass has fallen below the predetermined threshold, the controller can designate that the sacrificial anode is depleted. In response, the controller can output instructions for performing one or more corrective actions to protect the desired structure from corrosion.
