Abstract
The present invention provides a hydrogen collector and detector system for detecting emanating hydrogen from the test surface of materials, a hydrogen collector for use in such a system and a method for using the hydrogen collector in such a system. The present collector comprises a flexible plate, which has constructed on its receptor face raised grooves or high spots. These are presented approximately parallel to an approximately flat test surface or approximately tangential to a curved test surface, and form guiding channels along which hydrogen emanating from the test surface can be drawn and sent to an associated detector system. For use on a magnetizable surface, the present collector plate may comprise magnets by which it can firmly yet removably be attached to the test surface.
