Abstract
A method of and apparatus for the detection of pitting corrosion, in which simultaneous measurements of the rate of loss of material from a body under test are made by means of changes in the resistance of the body and thin layer activation analysis. If the body is corroding uniformly, the rate of loss of material as measured by each technique is the same; if pitting corrosion is occuring, then the two measured rates of loss of material are different.
