Title: ElectroChemical Noise Data Acquistion and Interpretation

Software ·
OSTI ID:1230604

This software is part of an effort to develop an effective measurement method, using electrochemical noise techniques, to differentiate localized pitting corrosion from general uniform corrosion. It is designed to obtain the electrochemical noise signal from in-situ electrochemical probes in a pipeline and convert the signal from a time-domain to a frequency domain by using a Fourier transform. The converted signal, named "power spectral density'', is then further used to calculate the value of characteristic parameters which describe the mechanism and progress of a corrosion process. The results obtained from this software enable one to differentiate localized pitting corrosion from general uniform corrosion attack in a utility pipeline.
