In-situ corrosion rate measurements by utilizing induced radioactivity in metal have been used widely in corrosion research. The corrosion rate is monitored continuously by radiation counters placed at a convenient location outside the test equipment, taking advantage of the ability of gamma rays to penetrate metals. The corrosion rate is determined by loss of radioactivity due to removal of radioactive metal by the corrosive reactions. The measurements are fully non-destructive, very accurate and easy to interpret. The report describes the experience with these types of corrosion rate measurements for research and industrial applications, the instrumentation, available isotopes and safety precautions.
