Underwater Corrosion Monitoring

Underwater Corrosion Monitoring

Buckleys supplies a range of sub-sea corrosion monitoring equipment specifically designed to determine the corrosion status of underwater structures, i.e. piers, jetties, sub-sea pipelines and ship's hulls.

The Bathycorrometer® is a diver held unit which will measure the corrosion potential at specific contact points. Although the readings are visible to the diver, a Surface Display Unit can be supplied to verify readings on board a ship or diving platform.

If Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) are being used, the UCP1A contact probe or UCP1B proximity probe can be easily installed to carry out corrosion surveys.

Simple surveys of marine structures can be carried out by the use of a Marine Survey Kit (see the case study on Dover Harbour Board).

Suitable Equipment:

Buckleys Bathycorrometer®

A diver-held corrosion voltmeter used to measure the corrosion potential of immersed structures accurately.
